A fantastic and insightful panel discussion. We took so much away from this as Chair. Caste may manifest in different ways but the underlying root causes of caste structures are identical.
Her journey shows that hope grows when we choose to reach out.
At Sikh Women’s Aid, we’re here to support every woman on her path to safety, healing, and empowerment.
Sikh Women’s Aid provides a free counseling service where eligible clients can access 8/10 weeks of therapeutic support with a qualified BACP registered psychotherapist.
Aria came to us unsure and overwhelmed. With support, she found clarity, confidence, and the strength she didn’t know she had.
Day 3 – Aria’s Journey: From Darkness to Strength
Today we share Aria’s story a reminder that healing begins with a single brave step. Our culturally sensitive counseling service was set up to provide a safe, confidential space to unpack, process and find life beyond the trauma of abuse.
Unqualified groups of men, many with criminal records, should not be anywhere near children and young people in moments of acute vulnerability.
Today we honour Dia and every mother fighting to protect their child.

We break down barriers because sex, rape and abuse are still taboo subjects in the Sikh Panjabi community. Our doors are open when women and girls need protection and safety the most.
Their approach has centred on fear, racism and community division rather than supporting victims.
Women led services provide what men simply cannot.
A trauma informed professional response rooted in true cultural competency and safeguarding.
consistency and a trauma informed approach it is possible to reunite families even in the most devastating circumstances.
There is a growing narrative in our community about grooming that has been led by unregulated male groups who claim expertise without registration or qualifications.

Dia’s Story: From Crisis to Reunion
SWA walked beside Dia and her family through arrests, court hearings, cultural pressure and fear until Kiran was safely home again.
Dia’s story is about grooming and the belief that with hard work,
✨Healing is possible.

We also want to shine a light on healing, because healing is not only about surviving; it is about rebuilding, reclaiming, and choosing yourself again.
Throughout these 16 days, we will be amplifying voices of pain, empowerment, and transformation to remind every woman that:
This year, we are handing our socials over to our amazing victims survivors. We are sharing real stories from Sikh women who have accessed our service.
These stories reveal difficult truths but also the strength and bravery it takes to speak up and reach out for support.
🧡 For 16 Days of Activism, Sikh Women’s Aid is honouring the courage and resilience of women in our community who continue to face and overcome gender-based abuse. 🧡
Having a platform like British Vogue recognise and reflect the realities of Sikh women is not only powerful, it is necessary.
Sikh Panjabi women have been telling us they feel frightened, angry, and unsafe in their everyday lives and we have a responsibility to make sure their fear is not ignored or minimised. We must encourage our women to live their lives safety and look to the future with awareness and hope.
A heartfelt thank you to Devinder for amplifying the experiences of Sikh Panjabi women and girls from frontline professionals to specialist service providers, and to West Midlands Sikh MP Sonia Kumar, in the aftermath of the horrific rapes of two Sikh Panjabi women in Oldbury and Walsall.
British Vogue | Fear is Making Us Change How We Live
When Devinder reached out to us, we were taken aback, not because the story shouldn’t be told, but because a global platform for women and girls chose to centre our voices.
