The Royal Family, with The Queen as Patron of SafeLives, recently engaged in a meaningful discussion with Changemakers, the young pioneers of the charity, at Buckingham Palace. SafeLives, a prominent organization, acknowledges children and young people as victims in their own right, with those aged 13-17 facing some of the highest rates of domestic abuse.
The Changemakers, a group of young individuals, play a crucial role in guiding the charity's response to issues affecting young people, with a specific emphasis on exploring and promoting healthy relationships. Their dedication to addressing the challenges faced by youth in the realm of domestic abuse is commendable.
Looking ahead, one of the primary objectives for the Changemakers in the coming year is to ensure that the voices of children and young people are not only heard but also taken into account in the design, development, and implementation of domestic abuse responses. This proactive approach underscores the commitment of the Royal Family and SafeLives to empower the younger generation and create a safer environment for all.
