You are not alone,
We are here to support you.
Together, We Are Stronger
No one should walk this path alone. WHAN represents hands reaching out, survivors supporting survivors, communities lifting each other, and a network of care that empowers women and girls to thrive.
Every Story Begins in Silence
Many women and girls carry hidden pain, locked away like a seed beneath the soil or a cocoon waiting to open. At WHAN, we recognise this silence and we exist to provide a safe space where healing can begin.
The Courage to Rise
Just as the lotus blooms through mud, survivors can rise from trauma with dignity and strength. WHAN supports this journey of resilience, helping women rediscover their voice, identity, and confidence.
Healing Brings Back Light
With healing comes compassion for oneself, and for others. WHAN fosters this transformation, guiding survivors to rebuild their lives with love, dignity, and hope.

You answered my call with a promise that you will help, and you did, for the first time someone promise and deliver. The urgent referral for psychological assessment and support was a life changer for my thinking at that time. You and your team’s, dedication and relentless effort helped me get home and a weekly incentive through the non-recourse system.

My first meeting with you (Adama) gave me hope and feels the sense of protection and liberation because I have finally found someone, I can relate you, who does not only understand my trauma journey but advocating to support and protect other survivors and those at risk of becoming victims.
