Forty Voices Forty Years: Project Evaluation

During 2018-19 Welsh Women’s Aid worked in collaboration with the University of South Wales’ George Ewart Evans Centre for Storytelling to mark the organisation’s 40th anniversary. The project – ‘Forty Voices, Forty Years’ - was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Awards for All and Hanford Cymru and emerged from a recognition that women’s memories, voices and lives are often written out of national heritage. The project aimed to commemorate the work of these women over the past forty years, but also enhance understanding of the movement to stop violence against women in Wales, improving community knowledge about these types of abuse and our work to prevent it.
