    About Us

    Vision:

    • everyone is aware of gender-based violence everyone intervenes empathetically during incidents of GBV
    • survivors have unrestricted access to diverse forms of support, enabling them to heal & thrive without barriers or limitations
    • everyone works to prevent and ultimately eradicate GBV.

    We help

    • women, men, LGBTQ+
    • children, teenagers, and adults
    • people from socioeconomically underserved or marginalized backgrounds
    • senior citizens

    who have experienced any form of violence.

    What forms of violence do we address:

    Gender-Based Violence (GBV) can happen anywhere—at home, school, college, work, or in public spaces. It can also be perpetrated by anyone—family members, friends, colleagues, or even strangers.

    Think of violence as a spectrum. It may start with behaviors like bullying, discrimination, or stalking and escalate to other forms of abuse. Through our work, we support survivors effected by:

    • emotional abuse like gaslighting, cheating, shaming, control, etc.
    • verbal abuse like constant screaming, derogatory labeling, ridicule, etc.
    • economic abuse like controlling access to money, monitoring & stealing money, sabotaging employment, etc.
    • physical abuse like hitting, slapping, kicking, scratching, burning, etc.
    • sexual abuse like rape, assault, molestation, etc.
    • human trafficking
    • child marriage

    Survivor Support through The Butterfly Hug Program:

    We offer information about a wide range of existing resources to help survivors who may not know where to find support. These resources are aimed at assisting them in their journey toward recovery and healing. For instance, if a survivor of GBV needs medical or legal assistance but doesn’t know where to turn or who to contact, we step in to help. We act as an online and offline database, connecting them to the right resources.

    We also maintain a resource hub of articles with exclusive information on various facets of GBV and support.

    Project Tell-Tale:

    We anonymously document and share stories of GBV survivors and bystanders through blogs & podcasts to raise awareness, break the silence, empower, educate, advocate and inspire change, challenge stigma, and receive support and solidarity for one's experiences.

    GBV Prevention Program:

    We conduct workshops across diverse settings for individuals from various backgrounds on topics such as consent, gender-based violence (GBV), supporting survivors, and bystander intervention.

    We also conduct research and develop training materials for systems and various populations to become sensitive & trauma-informed.
