Collaborations

We believe that with working with women survivors of war, comes a responsibility to represent and amplify their voices – advocating for effective political change to bring an end to war, and an end to sexual violence.

We work with a range of coalitions and organisations, to campaign on the importance of women's rights and inclusion in civil society, leading to lasting change and striving towards our ultimate vision - a world where members of communities have full and equal participation in the processes that ensure their health, well-being and economic independence; and where everyone has the freedom to define the scope of their life, their future and strive to achieve their full potential.
