Holistic protection, every step of the way
Four interconnected pillars designed to prevent violence, equip responders, support survivors, and pursue justice.
Awareness & Prevention
Our prevention programmes go into schools and communities to build awareness before violence happens. Children learn what is bad touch, good touch, and uncomfortable touch, when it is okay to say no, and who a trusted adult is.
Who this is for: Schools, children, and communities across Zambia.
Request This ServiceWhat's Included
- School-based awareness workshops
- Age-appropriate lessons on consent and safety
- Teaching children how and where to report
- Identifying a trusted adult
- Community sensitisation sessions
- Parent and caregiver awareness support
Capacity Building
The church is a key responder to issues in the community, but is often not equipped to handle matters of a sexual nature. We train pastors, church leaders, teachers, and other community leaders in trauma-informed care and response, with over 60 pastors trained to date.
Who this is for: Pastors, church leaders, teachers, and community leaders.
Request This ServiceWhat's Included
- Trauma-informed care and response training
- Training for pastors and church leaders
- Training for teachers and school staff
- Training for other community leaders
- Guidance on responding to disclosures
- Ongoing mentorship and refresher sessions
Survivor Support & Response
We support survivors with dignity in reporting cases to the police, and escort them through the process when they are unable to do it on their own. We also receive whistleblower reports and protect the identity of anyone who comes forward.
Who this is for: Survivors of sexual violence against children, and anyone reporting on their behalf.
Request This ServiceWhat's Included
- Help reporting cases to the police
- Escorting survivors through the reporting process
- Protected, anonymous whistleblower reporting
- Rescue and placement into a place of safety
- Coordination to ensure survivor safety comes first
- Ongoing follow-up and support
Justice, Advocacy & Research
Our priority is the safety of the survivor first, and then justice. We escort survivors to court, follow up on lost police dockets, and hold the police accountable. Our research arm conducts implementation science and policy-influence research within our field. We helped influence the policy that made sexual offences non-bailable in Zambia.
Who this is for: Survivors seeking justice, and policymakers we work with on reform.
Request This ServiceWhat's Included
- Court accompaniment for survivors
- Follow-up on police dockets and case progress
- Holding the police accountable
