Ending Domestic Violence

Domestic violence traps families in cycles that pass from one generation to the next. We work to interrupt those cycles — protecting survivors today and preventing violence tomorrow.

1 in 3women worldwide experience gender-based violence in their lifetime

The challenge

One in three women worldwide experiences physical or sexual violence in her lifetime, most often at the hands of an intimate partner. Children who grow up witnessing abuse are significantly more likely to experience or perpetrate violence as adults.

Survivors who want to leave often can't — because they lack safe housing, independent income, or community support. Breaking the cycle means addressing all three at once.

Our approach

How we break the cycle

01

Protect

We support safe shelters, crisis response, and legal advocacy so that survivors and their children have somewhere safe to go — and someone standing with them.

02

Prevent

We fund community education, school-based programs, and work with men and boys to challenge the norms that allow violence to continue.

03

Rebuild

We invest in economic empowerment — job training, savings programs, and childcare — so survivors can build independent lives and their children can thrive.

What we're doing

  • Building safe shelters in Kenya where survivors and their children can land
  • Working with professional counsellors to support survivors' trauma recovery
  • Supporting school curricula that teach healthy relationships early
  • Backing economic independence programs that give survivors a path out

This work moves faster with you behind it.
