01
Research & national evidence
Rigorous national evidence gathering and analysis on institutional response, prevention frameworks, reporting patterns, and systemic barriers. Our first comprehensive national report is forthcoming.
Our work
Four areas of work, one survivor-led mission.
We integrate research, policy, public education, and survivor-centered technology to ensure prevention strategies and reforms reflect real-world conditions.
02
Policy & institutional engagement
Briefings, consultations, and evidence-based recommendations for governments, educational institutions, and community partners working to strengthen prevention and accountability.
03
Education & training
Prevention-focused curriculum, evidence-based content, and an affiliated speaker network — customized for institutions seeking to strengthen response and prevention frameworks.
04
Survivor-centered technology
A new pillar of our work: building trauma-informed tools at the intersection of AI, digital safety, survivor privacy, evidence, and accountability — designed to close the gap between harm and support.
Survivor-centered technology
Closing the gap between harm and support.
Emerging technologies are reshaping online sexual harms — and the institutions that respond to them. We build trauma-informed tools that take that reality seriously.
- → AI & the changing landscape of online sexual harm
- → Survivor privacy, digital evidence & accountability
- → Safer, trauma-informed access to resources and support
- → Tools designed with — not for — survivors

First Step
A private space — Canada
A confidential, timestamped record of your experience — kept under your control, accessible only to you. Write what you can, when you can. Nothing leaves your account until you decide what comes next.
First Step then explains trauma-informed pathways for what may follow: civil claim, criminal reporting, reformative justice and healing.
- · Contemporaneous, timestamped record
- · Private by default · quick-exit built in
- · Pathway guides for next steps

Anonymous · trauma-informed · community-powered
Survivor Needs lets survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence anonymously request the practical things that make healing possible — groceries, a ride, clothing for court, therapy, legal help, and more. The community shows up.
- · Anonymous, verified intake
- · Safe partner pickup
- · Two verification paths: referral code or trauma-informed advocate
- · Mutual-aid model — the community fulfills needs
