Today marks the beginning of the Saje Blog.

Hopefully, it will shed light on the steps they’ve taken to regain control of their own lives and free themselves from the grips of an abusive relationship. It also aims to help others understand what people living with domestic abuse and violence go through. To start, one of our Saje Programme graduates recently wrote a wonderful poem that encapsulates her experiences with the group she was a part of, giving a real sense of how the Saje Programme gave her the tools to change her life. Here’s that poem: Put a group of strangers in a room Throw Saje and BOOM! Shake, shake the room We were all strangers on the first day Felt embarrassed and panicked, ‘May Day, May Day’ I would have run and so would you It all felt weird and worse… taboo We stayed because we were to shy Not a shred of self-confidence...
