Gaining national distinction for

putting power back in the hands of

survivors to transform the root causes

of gender-based violence

Survivor-leaders launched Sex Ed Works, an innovative grassroots campaign that has shaped how educators, caregivers, and communities see sexual

health education as a critical intervention towards preventing gender-based violence

for the next generation

Survivor-leaders have connected

with over 800 survivors, breaking down the isolation and serving as life-lines in

their communities.

Trained over two dozen organizations representing an overall constituency of 400,000 individuals to implement our practices and tools to support survivors and organize campaigns to fight gender-based violence. Notable past partners include Fight
