Quote
More than four-fifths of young women in the UK have been subjected to sexual violence. One in five women have been subjected to some form of sexual violence. We are still so far away from gender equality - this is not acceptable. These two things alone fuelled me and my co-founders to create ICENA. At ICENA our goal is to change attitudes, beliefs, and practices, and promote equal access to resources and opportunities to end sexual discrimination and violence. The profits from our services fund vital support systems for UK survivors of sexual violence. I may not see the end of gender-based violence in my lifetime, but through ICENA, we can make sure survivors get the support they need until we have gender equality.
