Though the harrowing figures from the Office of National Statistics indicate that 4.6 million women in England and Wales have experienced domestic abuse and that one in seven young children under the age of 18 will have experienced living with domestic violence; South Londoner Angelique Franklin wanted to find a way to address this situation, by providing an evening of inspiration and hopefully strong female role models for the girls and women of London to emulate.
She said, “From the very beginning, our goal with The Sisterhood Concert was to create an event to help women feel empowered, uplifted and to also know that it’s OK to break the silence about an abusive situation or relationship.” Franklin further added that it is critical for young women today to realise that they aren’t alone in their struggle, and that they are loved and appreciated by so many people around them.
The Sisterhood Concert will kick off at 7:00 pm and end at 9:30 pm. Tickets prices are £15 for adults and £5 for children under 12, £25 for duo & £35 for family tickets. Proceeds raised will be donated to the Women’s Aid Charity. For further information about the event, please visit www.sisterhooduk.com
