#MeTooSikh
Our mission is to start a movement mirroring the original #MeToo initiative. We want to save our Sikh and Panjabi brothers and sisters from sexual and physical abuse by calling out offenders and implementing reform, along with turning victims into survivors through Sikh therapeutic music.
Kaur Voices, founded by Jasvir Kaur Rababan MBE, is a gender-inclusive space that originated for core voices to be listened to within the Sikh and Panjabi community. Focus has shifted towards this community to shine a light on the hypocrisy of the despicable actions that are currently ongoing. This our time to stand together, support each other and begin our collective journey of healing.

We wish to support the community to heal by standing together and bringing the necessary reform to ensure the safety of our young and vulnerable people. The purpose of this movement is to raise awareness as to the gravity of this issue and provide active support to resolve and eventually eliminate this issue from our community through awareness, healing and education.
