THANK YOU!

Our aim is to enable women's natural resources through music and help to redeem power over themselves. 

Here are some of our works:

EP2 "Without Violence & of all Colours" 

We have released a song written during our last year workshops "Songwriting for Recovery". It's a track based on a real story of domestic abuse survival Tracy Graham called "Better Without You". She also performed it and co-wrote it, supported by our founder Luiza Moir. This whole experience brought back much of happiness and relief into her life. The release also connected with many other women going through similar issues, bringing hope, understanding within music, being the effective process to recover from abusive relationship.

Listen to the song "Better Without You" 

 

This track is one of five songs we have created during SLW free therapeutic music workshops with five different ladies, domestic abuse survivors. To raise awareness about violence against women, to make a strong impact on the public, and to empower the most vulnerable we released all these five songs on the EP2 called "Without Violence & of all Colours" in November 2022. 

You can download these beautiful and powerful songs – you can also donate, all the profit goes to our free-for-victims, therapeutic music and art workshops. 

Thank you so much!

 

Just to let you know – In 2019, we released EP1 "Without Violence & of all Colours" with five songs inspired by real stories of domestic abuse victims, performed by international female artists who gave a voice to those who didn’t have an opportunity to speak.

Listen to the songs from EP1

 

But we won’t be able to continue our mission without your help. Please donate and make this help available for those who need it the most. It's also available on digital platforms an hard copy ONLY in our online shop.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

What Ladies says?

"As a survivor of domestic abuse, I met Luiza when I was a shadow of my former self. I went along to the musical workshops, where Luiza through various exercises helped me to find my voice...quite literally! Now I have the confidence speaking out something I wouldn't say before! "


Tracy Graham

"I was in a physically and psychologically abusive relationship for over 10 years. Then I found an amazing Sounds Like Women project. During the singing workshops with Luiza, with her knowledge, enthusiasm she was able to undo the key to my final cage and help find my own voice!"

Shelly

"I went to see Luiza and join in some Sounds Like Women workshops with a group of women who had all suffered due to domestic abuse. We had so much fun and laughed, sung and recorded a song together! I can't recommend Sounds Like Women enough for healing & empowerment!"
