A life free of violence means possibilities, freedom and peace of mind. We use all our energies to create meaningful and sustainable change. We are here because of and for women and children—accountable to them, to ourselves, to our partners and to our funders. We hold ourselves to high standards, and we achieve results.
Reduction in risk of violence against women in SASA! communities
Reduction in violence against children in Good Schools
Activists in the GBV Prevention Network
Schools in Uganda using the Good School Toolkit
Couples, families, friends and neighbors—these are powerful forces in our lives. When those closest to us change, when they support gender equality, non-violence and respect, our lives become safer and happier. Our evidence-based approach, SASA!, is used in over 500 communities around the world, supporting communities in changing long-held attitudes and practices by demonstrating the benefits of balanced power through creative and sustained activism. Positive change is happening!
In safe schools, children can thrive. They can learn. They can be children. Our evidence-based approach, the Good School Toolkit, is being used in primary and secondary schools across Uganda. Children, teachers, parents and administrators are working together to end corporal punishment and embark on a new journey in which positive discipline and dignity are the norm.
As a feminist organization in the Global South, we partner with and support other organizations interested in deepening their feminist analysis, strengthening their violence prevention skills and building stronger collectives. We’ve worked with over 600 organizations that are strengthening movements to prevent violence and to promote women’s and children’s rights.
Grounded in the realities of life for women and children, we use our platform in global spaces to amplify our learning from practice, advocate for change and influence the broader fields of violence against women prevention and violence against children prevention.
