Join NOOR, Survivor-Advocates for Change

NOOR is a group of survivor-advocates from migrant and refugee backgrounds who use their lived experience to influence policy, services, and public discussions on family violence. Established by inTouch in 2018, NOOR provides a safe and supportive space for women to share their stories and drive meaningful change.

What NOOR Does:

• Advises on family violence policies and service improvements
• Supports new project design and development
