Lewisham WAVES is independent from the council and other statutory organisations and uses a strong feminist voice to address the key requirements for a whole community response to violence against women and girls:

Protection

Prevention

Provision

Crucial to the Prevention aspect is broad public awareness work, challenging the underlying issues, as well as work to address individual perpetrators’ attitudes.
