Hidden Girls
Hidden Stories
Hidden Girls is a project for girls who have experienced domestic or sexual violence and now live in safe houses. Through our Trauma Relief Movement Program we help soften their trauma through dance and sports.
This unique training program launched in 2023 for girls in closed and semi-open shelters. We started in Rotterdam and Utrecht, reaching girls who, after traumatic experiences like human trafficking, abuse or violence, are cut off from the outside world for their own safety.
The goal: to improve the girls’ mental, emotional and physical health, helping them regain trust in themselves and their future. Our program is now expanding nationally and internationally, with our impact validated through research in collaboration with Radboud University.
Our mission is to make a positive change to the emotional, physical and mental health of young people who have fled from an unsafe environment. By using dance and sports we stimulate the process of trauma relief on a physical level in a fun, accessible and effective way.
10 euro will give 1 girl 1 trauma relief movement training.
