Our Mission ~

Girls Rising is dedicated to reducing sexual and gender-based violence against women through education, grassroots advocacy, spreading awareness of gender-based violence, seeking help for victims of gender-based violence, and building resource kits for survivors. We believe in making the world safer for women, one step at a time.

Violence against women is not just a women’s issue, it’s a human rights issue. It’s an issue of social justice.
