The Quetzal Project is a Leicester based charity providing a range of services to women who were sexually abused in childhood.

Why Quetzal? A quetzal is a South American bird which, legend has it, dies when caged. The Quetzal Project offers counselling, a Helpline and information to break the bars of psychological cages for women who are recovering from the trauma of childhood sexual abuse.

Quetzal has worked with hundreds of women aged 16 and over in Leicester City, Leicestershire and Rutland.
