new audiences. Train people on how to respond to
violence, experienced by themselves and others.
Highlight linkages between other social realities and gender violence.

The support of individuals is vital to work like ours.
Each person who contributes in any way—through money, time, resources, knowledge, networks—is saying,
“I share these ideals and I value this work.”

When we count our supporters, we take a census of those who believe
that it is time to move towards a violence-free, gender-just world.
This is social change. You make it happen with your support.
