Stories of Strength
Real Women. Real Resilience.
Nav's Story
She arrived at her local refuge with two bin bags, a buggy and a three-week-old daughter. Twelve months on, she has a home of her own, a business plan she presented at a women's enterprise day, and a confidence she says she didn't know she still had.
"I used to apologise for taking up space. Now I take up the whole room — and I'm teaching my daughter to do the same."
