SAHR
The first light that breaks the darkness, at dawn
Fueling a worldwide network of Women Human Rights Defenders (WHRDs) to strengthen laws, policies and practices to end Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV).
What's New
Vision , Mission and Theory of Change
Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) is the most pressing human rights issue of our time.
WHRDs are at the frontlines of change working to strengthen survivors’ access to justice and end SGBV. In order to influence change at the systemic level and push for feminist, survivor-center and intersectional change in law and policy, SAHR was created to resource WHRDs with a network and the tools and knowledge to support them .
Vision - The World We Want
Women and diverse HRDs fighting to eliminate sexual violence have the agency, visibility and technical competence to create lasting systemic change in their communities.
Mission - What We Do to Create the World We Want
Our mission is to fuel a worldwide network of women and diverse HRDs to strengthen laws, policies and practices to end SGBV.
Theory of Change (ToC)
When HRDs are resourced with expert knowledge & enabled to collectively carry forward their voice, then they are strengthened to transform cultures, systems and institutions towards justice.
