Education is the thread that connects our three core strategies. Learn more:
Educating
for
prevention
We believe education is the most powerful tool to prevent gender-based violence. That’s why we develop programs and projects to support governments in creating educational policies focused on prevention. We aim to engage leadership at all levels, triggering a ripple effect—from education departments and school administrators to teachers and students.

response
Humanized care for survivors of violence is a right—and we’re committed to making it a reality. We train and raise awareness among public agents who provide direct support to girls and women, such as professionals in social assistance, public security, justice, health, and other fields. Our goal is to prevent institutional violence and ensure care that is effective and compassionate.
