The London Coordinating Committee to End Woman Abuse is a network of more than 35 community organizations, dedicated to a compassionate and integrated response to supporting abused women, their children, and their abusive partners through prevention, advocacy, direct supports, justice, policy and research.
“We need more men with the guts, with the courage, with the strength, with the moral integrity to break our complicit silence and challenge each other and stand with women and not against them.”
- Jackson Katz
Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying "I will try again tomorrow"
- Mary Anne Radmacher
“Violence against women is perhaps the most shameful human rights violation. It knows no boundaries of geography, culture or wealth. As long as it continues, we cannot claim to be making real progress towards equality, development and peace”
- Kofi Annan
“Although the world is full of suffering, it's also full of overcoming”
- Helen Keller
“The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world .”
- Marianne Williamson

Measure the success and strength of our community by the health and wellbeing of all citizens.
As a result of advocacy by the LCCEWA, specifically member agencies Anova & London Abused Women’s Centre (LAWC), the City of London included a stand-alone strategic pillar – Creating a Safe London for Women & Girls.
While community organizations have struggled to meet the extraordinary needs & challenges caused by Covid-19, there have also been some really positive outcomes. Especially in the midst of struggle of a global pandemic. It's important to be able to share stories and celebrate our successes.
