The ugly reality is that 1 in 4 women have faced domestic and family violence and between 80 and 100 Australian women die at the hands of their male partners every year – and a woman in Australia is more likely to be killed in her own home by her male partner than anywhere else or by anyone else.” (The ABS Personal Safety Survey 2006).
Due to these alarming rates of domestic and family violence faced by women, Sakina Inc. was urgently established in June 2014 to provide safe shelter, empower, enable independence and advocate for women affected by domestic violence.
What is the objective?
Advocacy: advocating for the rights of women from culturally and linguistic diverse (CALD) backgrounds who are escaping domestic violence.
Empowerment: Empowering women in making choices that will assist them in the process of independence and liberation.
Independence: Assisting women in becoming free from control, influence and aid by increasing the ability of self- determination.
Sakina do this by engaging with other professionals such as psychologists, doctors, allied health practitioners, social workers, employment consultants, and other relevant government and non- governmental agencies.
Sakina Inc. is a non for profit organisation where all proceeds will go towards the funding of the shelter provided for women escaping domestic violence. Sakina are trying to raise funds to buy the shelter as well as provide essential for the victims.
