PEACEMAKER INTERNATIONAL

Peacemaker International is a voluntary organisation set up on 11th July 2011 and became a registered Charity on 6 June 2012. Peacemaker International was initially set up because of the gap in the service provision locally. PEACEMAKER INTERNATIONAL PROJECT (PIP) is a community-based family support organisation that gives a solid foundation to a wide range of self-help/capacity building activities for vulnerable people, including the elderly and people with disabilities. After 13 years of operation The Peacemaker matched with Bradford Women In Safe (WISH) to form Peacemaker International Project (PIP) in 2011. PIP in collaboration with WISH aim to promote the safety and security for women and children through community-based crisis intervention, long term approach, empowerment as well as working with other agencies to address underlined factors to gender-based violence. The organisation is dedicated to reducing gender-based abuse (including forced and early marriage, honour killings, trafficking, female genital mutilation (FGM), domestic sexual violence). The purpose is to meet increased needs of women and children and advocate for their rights. We offer a variety of specialist services for vulnerable families and local communities, including adopting an active role in partnership working, in supporting and advocating for the needs of women and children. It is free and non-judgmental, open to everyone in the community regardless of ethnicity, faith or race. As a family-support organisation, we are built around an all-inclusive or all-encompassing service.
