Hi there,

This August, Alma and I are going to cycle from Berlin to Copenhagen in aid of the Latin American Women's Rights Service - LAWRS, and to raise awareness of violence against women and girls.

We both work at LAWRS, Alma coordinating our integration programme, and myself as the director. 

We’re a human rights, feminist and holistic organisation run by and for Latin American women in London, and this year we are celebrating our 35th Anniversary #LAWRS35!

We are a small charity with a big job to do. Every year, we support over 5,000 women who are facing poverty, violence, or severe exploitation in the UK, through specialist services and programmes. All our services are for free of charge, in Spanish and Portuguese. We also run ESOL classes, employability advice, recreational outings and support to better integrate in the UK and break through isolation. Our ultimate goal is for women to be able to exercise their rights, and live fulfilling lives free from violence and abuse.

We believe that this kind of challenges are opportunities to give back to our community, inspire others to show solidarity with migrant women, and make a  positive difference in the lives of some the most vulnerable women. 

It would be amazing if you could support us!

On behalf of all women who will benefit from your support and from LAWRS team: MUCHAS GRACIAS!

Alma & Lucila
