We work at the intersections of gender, sex and power
- addressing issues that are silenced or ignored.
WHO WE ARE
We are a non-profit organisation founded in 2003. We are independently registered in Malawi and the UK, and work closely with our sister organisation in Ghana. We also collaborate with partners worldwide.
WHAT WE WANT
Our vision is of an equal world, where everyone has choice and control over their bodies, and can use their voices freely and without fear.
WHAT WE DO
We influence sexual and reproductive health behaviour change, social norms change, and policy change through bold, fearless storytelling and community participation.
