Exploitation can happen to any child, anywhere…………

We are committed to the fight against criminal or sexual child exploitation and supporting victims and their families who are subjected to the horrors of exploitation in all forms. We believe that if we can make more people aware by joining together on National CE Awareness Day, we can improve the chances of young people being heard.

“I am grateful to have all of my creative activities to help me cope with my mental health issues. I paint, draw to keep me calm in the moment. I still struggle to finish my work but I'm starting to get there. I also do creative writing and I sing and play a few musical instruments. I find all this helpful in my recovery.”

IWD23 : Women’s Voices

IWD23 : Women’s Voices

For International Women’s Day 2023, Doorway Women’s Service has launched the online gallery, ‘Women’s Voices’, in line with this year’s theme of celebrating and elevating visibility of women creatives. For many of the women we work with, creativity is an outlet for voicing their experiences. When talking is too triggering; art, photography, creative writing and music can assist in processing and coping with trauma. We would like to use our platform to highlight these powerful pieces of work and to give more of an insight into experiences that women with multiple needs face. Visit the gallery via our Doorway pages. Follow us on social media.
