Halo Project provides specialist advocacy for adults facing honour-based abuse, forced marriage, or female genital mutilation, with a strong focus on safety, confidentiality, and survivor choice. Advocates understand that patterns of emotional and physical abuse may have roots in childhood and can involve multiple family members or community pressures. Support begins with sensitive listening and risk assessment, followed by a tailored safety plan that may include discreet communication methods, emergency planning, and safe routes into accommodation or legal protection.

Caseworkers liaise with schools, health teams, housing providers, and the police where appropriate, helping survivors understand their rights and navigate complex systems. Ongoing support addresses trauma impacts, isolation, and practical barriers, with referrals to counselling, peer support, or specialist legal advice as needed. Halo also trains professionals to recognise risk indicators and respond consistently, so survivors receive coordinated, respectful help at every stage.
