The Asian Circle are a collective of British women from diverse backgrounds, volunteering their time and skills to support disadvantaged women in South Asia by building awareness of their plight and raising vital funds to transform their lives. The collective is part of the charity ‘The Circle’ founded by the singer and philanthropist Annie Lennox OBE. The Circle is a network of like-minded women, working to respond to the challenges of vulnerable women and girls worldwide.
The Asian Circle has been working in partnership with Oxfam for the last three years - This exciting partnership is supporting an innovative Oxfam programme in India working with poor and marginalised Tribal women to fight gender based violence in two of the poorest states in India, Chhattisgarh and Odisha. Working with local grassroots partners, the project has helped women survivors of violence access counselling, legal and other support services, made the wider communities aware about violence against women and motivate them to take action to prevent and end violence against girls and women. The work has also helped influence governments policies and ensure women's rights are met through active campaigning.
We are seeking support with Awareness building, Resources and Funding and finding Advisers, Ambassadors and Collaborators to help with this vital work - the violence that women face must be tackled so that women can live with the dignity, freedoms and rights that will lift them out of poverty.
