The group chose their name with the intention of amplifying the voices of those often marginalized, overlooked, or silenced in discussions surrounding critical topics.
SafeLives is a charity operating across the UK that is committed to eradicating domestic abuse for good and for all.
The organization recognizes children and young people as individuals who can be direct victims of abuse, with those between the ages of 13 and 17 facing some of the highest rates of domestic violence.
One of the primary goals for the Changemakers in the upcoming year is to guarantee that the perspectives of children and young people are not only acknowledged but also integrated into the formation, progress, and implementation of responses to domestic abuse.
This involves ensuring that the voices of marginalized and diverse young individuals are heard and embraced, so that everyone can receive the necessary support to lead lives free of abuse.
For an extensive period, Queen Elizabeth II has been actively involved in raising awareness about the efforts of domestic abuse charities and their crucial work in aiding victims and survivors, both within the UK and overseas, aiming to dismantle the societal taboo surrounding this issue.
