From Pain to Power: Women Unite to Break the Silence on Violence”
29 November 2025
We proudly supported a powerful event organised by Riaz Gull the founder of Sharifa Ibrahim Foundation, co-sponsored by Leverage Security and International Professional Security Association (IPSA). It was an evening filled with courage, honesty and an unshakeable call for change.
Every woman on that stage shared a piece of her journey — stories scarred by bullying, silencing, discouragement, survival, and heartbreaking loss. Some were survivors of abuse. Others were sisters of the women who didn’t survive — women who were taken too soon, murdered for simply existing. Writing this today makes my hands shake, but it strengthens my resolve. It trembles my heart, but it raises my voice.
This must change. Now.
The event opened with the powerful beat of the dhol, setting the perfect energy to welcome a wave of transformation. And from that moment, the atmosphere shifted.
Nourine S Noor held up a mirror to reality, reminding us of the truths we can no longer ignore.
Payzee Mahmod shook our souls with her raw honesty and unmatched courage.
Satia Rai DIR.IPSA F.ISRM MSyl awakened our minds to action, proving that awareness without movement means nothing.
Saiqa Akbar gave voice to mothers everywhere, speaking with a depth that resonated through the room.
Tami Blay brought to life the everyday experiences of professionals, showing us the resilience women carry into every workspace.
And Harpreet Kaur led the way, opening doors to limitless solutions and inspiring belief in what is possible.
In a single evening, we lived through centuries of pain, strength, resilience and hope — all from one stage. That is the power of Sharifa Ibrahim Foundation SIF’s Women’s Day.
Let’s keep the momentum going.
Let’s keep the feelings alive.
Let’s keep the actions building.
Let’s keep the impact visible.
Let’s light the path for the generations to come.
Let’s uplift other women.
Let’s stand together.
Let’s stand tall.
International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women
- a global call to action that none of us can afford to ignore.
Today marks the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women - a global call to action that none of us can afford to ignore.
At Leverage Security, we are co-sponsoring a dedicated awareness event in recognition of this important day, standing alongside partners, allies and colleagues in reaffirming our commitment to creating safe environments for women (along with every gender) everywhere. The event is organised by Sharifa Ibrahim Foundation.
As an active member of the Employers' Initiative on Domestic Abuse (EIDA), we recognise that workplaces play a crucial role in supporting those affected by domestic abuse. The responsibility does not rest solely with specialist organisations, it rests with all of us.
Every employer, every team and every leader has the power to make a difference.
Today, we are asking our network to take three meaningful actions:
🔸 Pause and reflect:
Acknowledge the reality that millions of women experience violence, often silently and without support.
🔸 Learn and share:
Equip yourself and your colleagues with the knowledge to recognise the signs of domestic abuse and respond safely.
🔸 Commit to change:
Advocate for policies, resources and culture that protect and empower women along with every gender within your organisation and beyond.
By using our collective voice, we can amplify awareness, challenge stigma, and foster workplaces where safety, dignity and respect are non-negotiable.

International Men’s Day Calls for Compassion, Courage and Open Conversations
Amid Unseen Challenges Facing Men
Today, on International Men’s Day, we are taking a moment to reflect on the men in our lives - colleague, friend, father, brother, son, mentor - who show up with strength, kindness and quiet resilience.
This day isn’t about celebrating perfection. It’s about acknowledging the real experiences men face: the pressure to stay strong, the unspoken expectations, the moments of struggle that often go unnoticed.
It’s also about recognising the importance of men’s mental and physical wellbeing. Too many still feel they must carry difficulties alone. If there’s one message worth amplifying today, it’s this:
"Seeking support is a sign of courage, not weakness."
To all the men who lead with empathy, who support others, who show up even when the world tells them to stay silent - thank you. Your presence matters more than you may realise.
Let’s continue creating workplaces and communities where men feel able to speak openly, ask for help, and be valued not just for what they do, but for who they are.
Here’s to healthier conversations, genuine connection and a more compassionate future, for everyone.

Leverage Security at the IKWRO Women’s Rights Event
Last week, Leverage Security had the honour of being represented by our Chief Operating Officer, Satia Rai DIR.IPSA F.ISRM, at the IKWRO – Women’s Rights Organisation event, held at the University of London.

The mission of IKWRO, to protect and empower women and girls affected by so-called “honour”-based abuse, forced marriage, child marriage, female genital mutilation (FGM), and domestic abuse, remains both vital and deeply inspiring.
Among the many powerful voices of the day, Councillor Jessica Phillips, Ward Councillor for Longbridge and Birmingham Victims Champion at Birmingham City Council, profoundly reminded attendees that “...lasting change comes through collective, tangible action.”
At Leverage Security, we stand firmly alongside those who are leading this change. The security sector has a crucial role to play, through awareness, education and collaboration, in shaping safer environments and stronger, more inclusive communities.
Our organisation remains steadfast in its commitment to gender equality, inclusion, and real, measurable action that drives positive change.

Honouring the Frontline
Reflections from International Security Officer Day 2025
A Day to Reflect. A Moment to Celebrate.
On 24 July, Leverage Security had the honour of attending International Security Officer Day 2025, hosted by Meta in collaboration with the International Professional Security Association (IPSA) and The Security Institute.
Held at Meta’s Cubitt Square office in London, the event brought together leaders, colleagues, and professionals from across the industry to do something we don't do often enough: pause, look around, and recognise the people who keep our world secure — quietly, constantly, and without the expectation of thanks.
The Unseen Backbone of Safety
Every day, frontline security officers are the first in, last out.
They handle the unpredictable with calm professionalism.
They carry out their work without headlines or applause — just purpose.
At Leverage Security, we know how critical this work is. And on ISOD, it was inspiring to be in a room where that recognition was felt so powerfully.
There were shared stories. Genuine moments of gratitude. A sense of unity across organisations, roles, and ranks — all driven by the same mission: keeping people safe.
A Shared Mission
We want to thank Satia Rai F.ISRM DIR.IPSA for the kind invitation, and IPSA and The Security Institute for organising such a thoughtful and energising day. We also applaud every industry body and organisation that hosted events throughout the week — each one a vital contribution to a growing movement to recognise our frontline workforce.
What Comes Next?
Let’s carry that energy forward — beyond a single day.
Let’s start conversations that lead to better visibility, stronger support, and more opportunities for our frontline teams.
Here’s how we can all play a part:
Say thank you.
Take notice.
Keep the momentum going.
At Leverage Security, our mission is rooted in service; protecting the communities we are entrusted with, every single day.
Leverage Achieves Highest Ever ACS Score
At Leverage Security, we understand that true excellence in the security industry is built not only on protection, but on trust, discipline, and the drive to improve with purpose.
We are proud to announce that we have achieved our highest ever score in the Approved Contractor Scheme (ACS), with a thirty-five percent increase since our last assessment. This result is more than a reflection of operational progress; it represents who we are becoming as a company.
This milestone highlights our growing commitment to compliance and professional standards. It also demonstrates our ability to respond to the evolving needs of our clients while staying focused on delivering service with integrity and precision.
We do not measure success by numbers alone, but by how consistently we raise the standard in everything we do. We are not here to maintain the status quo. We are here to build something stronger, more reliable, and more accountable—every single day.
If you are looking for a security partner who is serious about setting higher standards, we would be pleased to start that conversation with you.
Experience security delivered with purpose.
