Academy Award® Nominee - Best Documentary Feature Film ｜ Streaming Now Worldwide on Netflix ｜ "The 31 Best Documentaries of All Time" by Harper's Bazaar
#StandWithHer is a global initiative inspired by Academy Award® nominee To Kill a Tiger dedicated to empowering survivors and engaging men and boys in the work of gender justice. We believe in a world free of gender-based violence (GBV) and are committed to empowering allies to become change agents in this work.
• Empower Survivors: Activate global, national, and community resources to ensure care and justice for survivors. Provide survivors a platform from which to challenge the stigmas around sexual violence that prevent others from coming forward.
• Support Male Engagement: Create a culture of understanding and shared responsibility, inviting men and boys to help build a gender-just world.
• Prevent Gender-Based Violence: Focus on education and social narrative change to prevent GBV.
The ripple effects of gender-based violence on families, communities, and society at large are both vast and immeasurable. To truly create a safer, more equitable world, we must adopt inclusive and holistic strategies that work at both the micro and macro levels.
– 736 million women have experienced physical or sexual violence at least once in their lifetime [2018, UN Women].
– In the U.S., someone is sexually assaulted every 68 seconds, and every 9 minutes, that victim is a child [RAINN].
– Over 48% of South Asians in the U.S. have experienced some form of gender-based violence (GBV) [South Asian SOAR].
– Among undergraduate students, 26.4% of females and 6.8% of males experience rape or sexual assault through physical force, violence, or incapacitation [RAINN].
– Gender-based violence costs the EU 366 billion euros a year [EIGE] and the world economy, up to 1.5 trillion dollars a year [OXFAM].
Working with our partners, we create safe spaces for survivors to share their stories in community and advocacy settings. We’ll ensure that those who contact us have access to essential services, including legal, emotional, and social support. We hope to empower survivors to reclaim their lives through this comprehensive approach.
