The theme of our focus at Gender Mobile is protecting women and girl-child against sexual and gender-based violence. Our mission is to build a strong, vibrant, and accessible-for-all intervention platform that will connect victims and survivors to comprehensive specialized services. Our vision is to see a just society devoid of all forms of gender-based violence that is capable of undermining the existence of mankind in all forms and degree. Our goal is to break the silence on gender-based violence, To agitate for increased and improved institutional response to gender-based violence and curb it.

Our approach is defined by the inclusion principle of Nothing About Us Without Us which ensures that targets and survivors imparted by the structural inequity are involved in the design and implementation of policies and practices that affect their lives. The Campus Safety Initiative is grounded in research and adopts a participatory process that builds the capacity of women, girls and young people including persons with disabilities with the skills, knowledge and ability to organize and build movements, galvanize and mobilize peers for sexual assault prevention effort, use their authentic voices to advocate against sexual violence and be empowered legally to hold institutions to account.

This capacity building exposes them to information on overcoming the bystander effect and equip them with the technical tools to provide first aid psychological support to targets or victims. This extends to empowering girls and women through capacity strengthening on organizing, leadership, movement building and using their authentic voices which impacts on their aspirations, leadership capabilities, perception, behaviour and response to create a culture and climate devoid of sexual harassment.

Our theory of change is premised on the reciprocal relationship between the culture of silence that thrives on a permissive climate and lack of survivor-centred reporting system, poor institutional response enabled by lack of accountability systems and structures. Hence, we are bridging existing gaps an approach that centres the voices of women, girls and young people including persons with disabilities, increases reportage, holds perpetrators accountable to further deter potential perpetrators, and improves institutional accountability.
