Not because it didn't matter — but because it didn't feel like anyone would listen. We are working to change that silence into action.
● Our 7 Engines of Change
We take what's known — data, experience, evidence — and turn it into things that actually help.
01
Fund
We back people trying proven and new ways to prevent violence and support survivors.
02
Implement
We help good ideas take shape where they're needed most — in schools, workplaces, and communities.
03
Evidence Hub
We collect and share what's working so others don't have to start over.
04
Influence Policy
We bring tested ideas to those who can make them part of the system.
05
Build Coalitions
We connect people working on this — NGOs, researchers, funders, survivors — so learning spreads.
06
Scale What Works
When something helps, we help it reach further.
07
Communicate
We use data-led storytelling and media to shift attitudes.
● Understanding Through Evidence
We don't fund assumptions. We don't run on hope. We run on data.We started with the right questions—What actually stops violence?—and did the homework first. We convened expert roundtables, ran a 3-city survey, and developed a landscape note to find the hard truths.
