What do we do
We passionately work in promoting equality, diversity and non-discrimination. We raise awareness on gender equality from an intersectional and non binary approach in relation to empowerment and rights awareness.
We work hard on the prevention of all types of violence, including gender-based violence, child abuse and online/offline violence, polarization and radicalization, and put a special focus on supporting victims and survivors.

Why should we educate on gender equality, sexuality, and affectivity?
We firmly believe that education for gender equality and equity, understood as the concepts highlighting that women and men, girls and boys and all other genders with different needs and power should have equal conditions, treatment and opportunities for realizing their full potential, human rights and dignity and that differences should be identified and addressed in a manner that rectifies the imbalances.
Towards the prevention, protection & support of victims & survivors of violence
We encourage community approaches to protect and to better support those who have been victims and/or survived violence and promote new models of practices to tackle violent and abusive behaviours.
Cultivating fundamental rights & preventing offending behaviours
We promote innovative, community-based initiatives aimed at promoting fundamental rights and preventing and contrasting offending and criminal behaviors both online and offline, including hate speech and radicalization, through the envisioning and encouragement of alternative narratives.
Promoting the rights of the child
We're on a mission to make the world a safer place for every child by preventing all forms of violence against them, ensuring child protection and encouraging their active participation.
