A nonprofit project

Now launching worldwide

A safe space to think the unthinkable.

You don’t need to be an expert.

You don’t need to already know what to do.

Who is it for?

Individuals

Take part on your own, with friends, or with your community.

Train your teams. Build a culture of respect at work.

Schools & universities

Equip staff with knowledge that protects.

Healthcare & social workers

Sharpen your ability to listen, recognize, and respond.

The numbers we don’t talk about.

1 in 3 women worldwide will experience sexual or physical violence in her lifetime. (WHO, 2021)

1 in 6 men will be sexually abused before the age of 18. (CDC)

More than 80 % of sexual violence is committed by someone the victim knows. (RAINN)

Awareness alone won’t solve this. Conversations might.
