Mahnoor* is one of the women we've been able to help thanks to the generosity of people like you. Her story is one of triumph. She overcame years of violent abuse at the hands of her husband and now lives in freedom with her children.

We'll be sharing Mahnoor's story next week as part of our Big Give campaign supported by Postcode Lottery UK. Look out for it and please give if you can as all donations will be doubled.
