A new series of all-female boxing nights is funding free training sessions to help women recover their confidence following abusive relationships, Positive News reported. The Fight Forward program operates out of the 12x3 boxing gym located in Aldgate, east London. [1]
Participants in the initiative use the physical discipline of boxing to heal from past trauma. Saria, a 40-year-old survivor who joined her first boxing camp two years ago after leaving consecutive abusive relationships, stated that the Fight Forward program saved her life. [1]
The effort builds on broader technological and community measures designed to support women faced with harassment and safety issues. As HEROIC BREAKING NEWS reported earlier, platforms such as SafeSteps in Serbia have also emerged to allow women to map safety concerns and report harassment anonymously. [1][2]
The ticket sales and proceeds from the fight nights directly sustain the cost of running the free non-contact boxing camps. Organizers aim to continue expanding access for survivors seeking physical empowered recovery spaces. [1]
In short
- The Fight Forward program offers free boxing classes for domestic abuse survivors in east London.
