THE OLIVE PROJECT – DEVON
Providing specialist support to black and minoritised victims and survivors of Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence.
At the Olive project, we believe that black and minoritised victims of abuse deserve a specialist service that takes into account their needs and lived experiences. Black and minoritised women are more likely to stay longer in an abusive relationship, not to report to the police, and have multiple perpetrators. We believe a by and for organisation is best to provide this support.
We provide training courses and lead on local campaigns to create real change in Devon and the surrounding areas.
In essence, we are from the communities we serve.
