Take Action

Building the Foundations for Change

Research

We are developing a programme of evidence-based research, centring the experience of women and girls to inform policy, support prevention strategies, and offer practical, actionable insights that drive real-world change.

Advocacy

We are building campaigns and strategic engagement initiatives designed to influence legislation, challenge societal norms, and embed the prevention of violence against women and girls as a fundamental societal priority.

Education

We are creating accessible toolkits, workshops, and training programmes that equip individuals, organisations, and communities with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to take action against violence.

Collaboration

We are establishing a growing network of grassroots organisations, researchers, and practitioners, uniting diverse expertise to drive collective action and strengthen prevention of violence against women and girls.
