More than 50 women have completed empowerment workshops co-designed by survivors of domestic abuse to protect them from becoming future victims.
Police and Crime Commissioner Nicolle Ndiweni-Roberts provided £5k from her Safer and Stronger Communities Fund to Derby-based non-profit organisation Community One for its Empower Her project.
The programme was designed to address violence against women and girls (VAWG) in Black and Asian communities, raising awareness and building resilience among young women aged 12-21 through a series of eight peer-led and culturally sensitive workshops.
It culminated in a large-scale community event attended by more than 200 women, community leaders, families and statutory services, creating a platform for intergenerational dialogue around violence against women and girls (VAWG).
The project has also involved the development of a Community Ambassador network, training women as leaders to support their peers and challenge harmful cultural norms.
Twelve ambassadors are already training and six are actively delivering support.
Prior to the workshop launching, awareness of signs of abuse among the cohort was 32%, which increased to 78% following delivery. Additionally, confidence rose from 28% pre-workshop to 72%.

Extra support is being provided for Derbyshire victims who are affected by, or concerned about, the Government's early prison release arrangements.
The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire has been awarded £195,000 from the Ministry of Justice to help provide additional capacity within local victim support services over the next two-and-a-half years.
The funding will be used to uplift Derbyshire Victim Services, delivered by Remedi: Restorative Services to work with victims affected.
The Government is introducing changes to prison release arrangements through the Sentencing Act 2026 to help ensure there is sufficient prison capacity, while maintaining robust supervision of offenders on release to protect victims and the wider public.
The additional funding will help ensure Derbyshire Victim Services can continue to provide support, information and practical assistance to victims of crime who may be impacted by these changes.
Anyone affected by crime in Derbyshire can access free, confidential support through Derbyshire Victim Services, regardless of whether the crime has been reported to the police.
