Full description
The grant will contribute to the cost of venue hire, materials, transport, catering and travel (£3000); group facilitators (£10,000) and administration including phone, printing, marketing and design (£2000). This will allow Amina to deliver a project in partnership with Rape Crisis Edinburgh focusing on the mental health and wellbeing of minority ethnic young women and girls, including those with a learning/physical disability and mental health problem. Participants will attend a weekly series of workshops and discussion groups with a focus on violence against women, challenging perceptions of beauty and gender stereotypes. Topics will include sexual harassment, isolation, bullying, grooming and negative body image. This will be achieved using prose, spoken word, images, film and video logs. This aim is to improve the confidence and self-esteem of women. Up to 50 young women aged 13 ? 25 will benefit by attending the sessions.
