About Women and Girls Network

Women and Girls Network (WGN) is a community-based organisation providing women with a comprehensive range of therapeutic services which facilitate healing and recovery from experiences of violence. We work with all forms of gendered violence, whether physical, sexual or emotional.

We are committed to offering services which empower women with a choice of therapeutic activities that encourage them to be self-nurturing, creative and active participants in their healing process. We recognise the individuality of every woman and the uniqueness of her experience; we view healing as a partnership where women retain control by choosing specific programmes which meet their needs. Our work is intended to inspire and facilitate growth, resolution and change, moving a woman from survivor to thriver.

Our services include:
1. Individual counselling with variable contracts from 15 sessions to one year
2. Therapeutic groupwork
3. Body therapies
4. Specialist pan-London sexual violence helpline
5. Gendered violence advocacy and one-to-one support service for young women
6. Workshops and groupwork with young women, including a dedicated prevention project
7. West London Rape Crisis Centre
8. ISVA (Independent Sexual Violence Advocacy) service
9. An Advice service offering one to one support
10. Accredited training programmes for frontline practitioners working with women survivors of violence
