About Us
What We Do
Since 2017, we have led the effort to educate, empower, counsel and protect women and children. We have been at the forefront of providing avenues for the vulnerable.
“Making someone feel obligated, pressured or forced into doing something of a sexual nature that they don't want to is sexual coercion. This includes persistent attempts at sexual contact when the person has already refused you. Nobody owes you sex, ever; and no means no, always.”

Man Up
This project was geared towards creating a healthy environment for men to be themselves, free of judgement where they come to engage in conversation about their reproductive health, physical and mental health, healthy sexual education and conversation and that allows them to learn about violence, healthy sex culture and consent education. It is an initiative specifically targeted to males so they can see where they measure up on the scoreboard of ally ship. Teaching men about consent and their role as a bystander would go a long way to end violence against women.This project would consist of high school sensitization and events to educate men only on sexual violence.
