We believe that everyone deserves to live in a safe and healthy environment, devoid of violence and abuse.
The Storm
Globally, domestic violence or the 'shadow pandemic' has exasperated many existing challenges faced by victims of abuse and domestic violence organizations.
As a group of domestic violence survivors, advocates, and technologists we have a vision to protect life through technology. As such, to help more individuals be safe and create a multiplier effect, we set out on a mission to empower and accelerate the work of our member organizations through our membership services.

We pledge to help victims of abuse find safer and easier ways to communicate and request time-sensitive services from domestic violence organizations.
We pledge to help domestic violence organizations embrace technology, so that they can improve and accelerate the delivery of their services while reducing operational costs.
We pledge to be trauma-informed in developing communities for advocacy professionals and survivors to create a global "Parasol of Protection"
