Ashiana Sheffield  Yasmin Ashlan, whose dedication shone through, explained the many causes of female abuse that Ashiana deal with when helping the sufferers. Apart from their Sheffield Refuge the charity supports and guides women through the difficulties;  e.g. language, cultural, legalities, etc; met in achieving a new lifestyle. The charity also works with countrywide partners on wide range of projects that not only support abused women but develop ways to prevent such occurrences. She quoted several moving case studies. We were left with a new understanding of the extent of the female abuse and the range of organisations fighting against it. Please visit Ashiana's web site to appreciate the extensive range of it's activities and how deserving of  support.
