where all people can freely move and thrive. Our research, measurement, and programming activities aim to break cycles of normative violence while addressing its root causes. We seek to promote, enable, sustain, and measure people’s ability to explore and flourish.

All people have the right to pursue self-determined goals free from fears of physical, sexual, or psychological harassment or harm. Current approaches to addressing gender-based violence are not working at the scale or speed needed to catalyze change and sustainably eliminate violence.

Existing measurement and programmatic approaches focus on documenting and mitigating experiences of gender-based violence and safety in public spaces. This problem-focused perspective compromises our ability to aspire to achieve full bodily autonomy, dignity, and opportunity.
