United KingdomKAWACC is a small, needs-driven organisation which advocates with and for vulnerable and disadvantaged women, mainly, though not wholly of BME decent. Founded in 1984, we work in Keighley, West Yorkshire and operate from a women and girls centre in the densely populated district of Lawkholme Lane. Our users mainly come from the town’s urban core, many are of South Asian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi backgrounds but this is now diversifying with the influx of Eastern and Central European and African migrants. We are run by women for women and have an active volunteer team. Our support is practical and strategic and reflects the cultural context of local women’s lives. On average we work with some 300 women a year.
