We Are Frieda CIC is a Black feminist, by-and-for community interest company providing intersectional training, consultancy, and research to improve responses to domestic and sexual violence, particularly for racialised and marginalised communities. During the financial year, our activities focused on increasing cultural competency, anti-racist practice, and intersectional awareness across the VAWG and broader social care sector. We delivered accredited training programmes for domestic and sexual violence practitioners, developed practitioner toolkits (including the Intersectional Risk Tracker Tool), and supported frontline organisations to embed culturally appropriate, trauma-informed practices. We facilitated specialist workshops on topics such as intersectional feminist leadership, disempowerment and advocacy, and anti-oppressive service design. These sessions directly benefited practitioners, service leaders, and commissioners, equipping them to better support racialised survivors of violence and abuse. We also undertook community research projects exploring the experiences and needs of Black and racialised women affected by sexual violence in the West Midlands. This work aimed to address systemic gaps in support and inform future policy and service development.
We Are Frieda CIC regularly engages with stakeholders to ensure our work remains rooted in the needs and realities of the communities and sectors we serve. Our stakeholders include: Racialised survivors of domestic and sexual violence Frontline practitioners and advocates Commissioners and funders By-and-for organisations and community-based services Academics, researchers, and sector leaders in VAWG, intersectionality, and anti-racism How we consulted stakeholders: Through qualitative and quantitative research, including structured interviews and surveys with professionals and survivors Ongoing dialogue via training evaluation forms, consultancy debriefs, and co-production sessions Informal feedback loops through partnerships, peer learning sessions, and community conversations Advisory input from lived experience consultants and sector collaborators Actions taken in response to stakeholder feedback: Developed and launched the Intersectional Risk Tracker Tool to address gaps in risk assessment for racialised survivors Adapted training content to include deeper focus on cultural competemility and institutional advocacy Created additional reflective tools and policy resources in response to practitioners’ calls for practical application guidance Raised sector-wide concerns with commissioners about the underfunding of by-and-for services and the exclusion of culturally specific models of care Stakeholder engagement is a continuous process that informs the design, delivery, and strategic direction of all our activities. It ensures that our work remains community-informed, accountable, and transformative.
