Our mission is to empower vulnerable women/girls from Luton and Bedfordshire to lead lives that are safer, healthier and fairer, while also taking action to challenge wider societal concerns around gendered violence, mental health and inequality. We want to see Luton and Bedfordshire become a place where: - Violence/ abuse against women and girls is prevented wherever possible (e.g. through early intervention and community-based educational work) - All women/ girls affected by trauma are effectively supported to recover from the impacts of such experiences (particularly around their mental health and socio-economic circumstances), avoid repeat victimisation and successfully move forward with their lives. - Our community feels protected now and in the future (e.g. through easily accessible services for women plus the 'butterfly effect' impacts on others like their dependents) - People and organisations work together to create a wider understanding and better response to violence against women/ girls and mental health across our region. We now work intensively with over 1000 women/ girls per year, the vast majority of which have experiences of domestic violence/abuse and/or similar trauma (e.g. harmful practices, historic child sexual abuse or sexual exploitation). All are dealing with severe impacts of trauma, particularly around their mental health, safety, confidence, family and personal relationships, and future prospects. At Luton All Women's Centre, they can find the solace, strength and opportunity they need to make positive change in their lives. Our main objective, therefore, is to deliver a wide range of specialist services which tackle these issues and their consequences at the earliest opportunity (including prevention work). This includes providing: a domestic abuse/ trauma response service (1-1 and group support); professional counselling (supported by volunteers); a range of health and wellbeing services; a harmful practices service; 'The Women's Academy' (our employability project); access to practical advice, resources, advocacy and legal surgeries; plus several peer groups which support recovery and reduce isolation. This work usually takes place within our women-only centre. However, after making necessary adaptations during the pandemic, we now provide a blend of remote and in-person services, in line with our clients' preferences. Typically, our clients access several areas of support over around 18 months, at which point they are usually able to make lasting positive changes such a building a stable family life and progressing with other goals around their future such as pursuing education or employment aspirations. Over the last five years, LAWC has significantly advanced its scope beyond direct beneficiary support to increase our societal impact. Locally, we are taking a leading role in tackling gender inequality; introducing innovative solutions around trauma, DVA, mental health, poverty and other key issues affecting women/girls; and are working hard to improve early intervention/ prevention approaches in and around Luton. Examples of how we do this include providing educational/training activities for our clients, young people, key professionals and local employers; working with partners on local policy/campaigns; and spearheading a trauma-informed approach within the local mental health framework.

We aim to co-create one million jobs for women in rural India. A job means an income, economic autonomy and an escape from the cycle of poverty. We are pursuing our mission by providing business knowledge and mentoring to Indian social entrepreneurs that mainly employ women. By doing this we are accelerating the growth of their organizations and thereby co-creating more jobs for women in rural India. This is done through mentoring of the CEO/management and by providing series of interactive workshops with teams. We also bring together multiple business partners facing similar issues with a view to share best practices and look for collaboration opportunities among partners. Next to working with these enterprises, we provide the same - but on a much larger scale - to state governments on developing their women entrepreneurship programs. The aim is the same: improving the business of Indian social enterprises, so more products will be sold, thereby creating more jobs. Thus, we co-create lasting impact. Based on the need assessment and gap analysis we jointly prioritize the topics of workshops with our business partners. We have no standard solutions. Each enterprise has its own specific challenges. We have a tailor-made approach and call that 'craftsmanship in consultancy'. We believe in long-term relationships; therefore, we aim to work together for a minimum of three years. The uniqueness of the Women on Wings approach is that we fuse global knowledge and local implementation. Our experts, who work pro bono, share their 15+ years of professional experience in e.g. marketing, social media, finance, organizational management, product development, production, retail and supply chain management. Our business partners always need to own all plans that we jointly develop. Therefore, Women on Wings' experts facilitate the partner with their business knowledge, but only the business partner and its team are responsible for implementation of the plan. We are always there to jointly provide solutions to bottlenecks that may arise during implementation.
