Support for women experiencing intimate partner violence, coercive control, and post-separation abuse.

No woman should feel trapped by fear, isolation, or a lack of information.

WHO WE ARE

Karama Foundation is a survivor-informed initiative supporting women experiencing intimate partner violence, coercive control, post-separation abuse, and other forms of relational harm.

Through education, practical guidance, mutual aid, and survivor-centred support, we help women understand their options, reclaim their autonomy, and rebuild with dignity.

Nearly 1 in 3 women globally experience physical or sexual violence, most often within intimate partner relationships.

Our Mission

Karama exists to ensure that women experiencing intimate partner violence, coercive control, post-separation abuse, and other forms of relational harm have access to trusted information, practical support, and clear pathways to safety, informed decision-making, and rebuilding.

How we do this:

  • Education

  • Practical Guidance & mutual aid

  • Community Support

  • Safety Planning

  • Public Awareness

  • Referrals

Our Vision

We envision a world where every woman can live free from violence, coercion, and abuse with safety, dignity, autonomy, and informed choice. A world where women are never trapped by fear, isolation, or a lack of information. A world where support pathways are visible and every woman has access to the knowledge, community, and resources needed to heal and rebuild.

​What We Believe

  • Every woman deserves dignity, safety, and autonomy.

  • Abuse is never the responsibility of the person experiencing it.

  • Abuse can continue after separation through post-separation abuse and coercive control.

  • Seeking support is a sign of strength.

  • Understanding your options is often the first step toward safety.

  • Healing is strengthened through community, knowledge, and collective care.
