Boxing Program for Abuse Survivors
A new boxing initiative in London is helping survivors of domestic abuse find confidence, strength, and community through sport. Fight Forward offers free boxing classes for women who have experienced abusive relationships, allowing them to train at their own pace and comfortability level. To expand the program, Fight Forward is now hosting a series of women-only boxing events, with profits funding free classes for abuse survivors. Participants have reported greater self-esteem, a sense of control, and independence, with many continuing to train far beyond their Fight Forward classes. By combining physical activity and empowerment, the program is helping women reclaim their strength and challenging gender norms in a male dominated sport.
