Summary

My big idea to tackle the Big Challenge is to provide a youth-led support network for females aged 14-25 who have been victim of rape and sexual abuse. Providing services such as a free-of-charge telephone helpline, where people can confidentially talk to fully trained youth volunteers /counselors to gain support and advice, will help deal with distress and difficulties they may consequently face. A counseling service will also enable individuals to speak on a one-to-one basis with counselors.
