Seven women pose together for a group photo at the launch of Savera UK's Duality Vessels: Voices of Strength exhibition. The group is arranged across two rows against an exposed brick wall, with colourful artwork and blue-tinted lighting visible in the background, suggesting a gallery or event space. Four women stand in the back row and three crouch or kneel in the front. Several women are holding bouquets of tulips and mixed flowers. One woman in the back row is dressed in a formal military uniform. a black jacket with red detailing and a peaked cap, while the others wear a range of smart casual clothing, including a floral dress, a leopard-print scarf with a camel coat, a hijab, and colourful layered textiles. In the front row, one woman wears a red beret and a black-and-white striped top, and another wears a salmon-pink blazer. All seven women are smiling and facing the camera.

HBA & Harmful Practice Media Guidelines

We have launched media guidelines for reporting on HBA and harmful practices and interviewing survivors.

The guidelines were created collaboratively by HBA survivors and frontline professionals and came following the charity’s Setting the Story Straight project, funded by Lloyds Bank Foundation for England & Wales. The project examined how HBA and harmful practices, its survivors and affected communities were represented in the media.
