Ensures that all eligible immigrants understand and have access to the path to citizenship.

With a singular focus on increasing the naturalization rate in Massachusetts and beyond, Project Citizenship transforms the lives and futures of immigrants in the U.S.!  Our free legal services have enabled over 10,000 permanent residents to achieve U.S. citizenship since 2014.  By accepting the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, our new citizens achieve expanded opportunities, greater economic stability, family reunification, a voice in our democracy, and a deeper sense of belonging in this country.  We all benefit when immigrant groups are not isolated but are full participants in our social and civic life, creating more cohesive communities.

Project Citizenship focuses on those who would not be able to naturalize without assistance through the complex and lengthy process. We coach, we encourage, we inform, and we advocate for each client with the U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Service (USCIS) - from application to Oath of Allegiance.  We submit requests for waivers of the USCIS application fee and for special consideration for clients who are older or who have a disability. The Project Citizenship community includes over 1,000 attorney volunteers and many local organizations who partner with us. Our clients have a remarkable 95% success rate in achieving citizenship.  Our work is at the intersection of economic vitality, civic engagement, and social justice.

Friends of Be an Angel provides humanitarian aid & civilian evacuations for the most vulnerable in Ukraine during a time of war.

Friends of Be an Angel, together with Be an Angel and the Women's For Future organization, provide for those most in need in Ukraine during a time of war. We work with in-kind donations and humanitarian aid, then organize delivery to the most severely affected regions in Ukraine. Additionally, the team coordinates the evacuation of vulnerable people from Ukraine. So far, we have managed to provide 4,700+ tons of aid and have evacuated 18,000+ civilians.

The are nearly 6.6 millions of internally displaced persons in Ukraine and over 9 million people have crossed the Ukrainian border since Russia invaded the country. Almost 2.2 millions Ukrainian citizens had to leaved their home in eastern Ukraine. Unfortunately, they currently have no place to come home to because their houses have been destroyed. Ten percent of internally displaced persons have not gotten any assistance from the Ukrainian government. They have dire needs, especially in light of winter coming soon. At least three million families are in Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson regions, that are occupied by the Russian troops. They have no opportunity to buy simple everyday products such as meals, hygiene products, medical supply, and more. Even a simple cold or fever could lead to death! Also, Ukrainians are facing the coldest winter in the history of independence! The room temperatures are expected to be at 13-14°C inside homes at best during winter.

Together, we can provide for the Ukrainian people in these trying times. We can stand together in the face of this humanitarian crisis and save lives. Donate today.

Stop the arbitrary detention of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers.

Thousands of men, women, and children are locked up every day just because they fled their countries, were trafficked overseas, or sought better lives abroad. Hidden from scrutiny, they face inhumane conditions and grave abuses. Some people die in detention, others simply disappear, and others lose hope of ever being freed—even though they are not charged with crimes. 

 Donate to the Global Detention Project today to: 
 
* End arbitrary and indefinite migration-related detention. 
* Ensure that children and other at-risk people are never detained. 
* Expose harmful detention practices. 
* Demand justice for those unjustly detained.  
* Promote the respect and dignity of all non-citizens. 
 
_____________ 

MAKING AN IMPACT: 

UNCOVERING DETENTION
We work to ensure that countries reveal how many people they detain, in what conditions, and why, which is essential information for making meaningful calls for reforms. We have successfully encouraged many countries to release data, including an early FOIA request in the US, which led to our publishing the first comprehensive map of US detention sites ,  featuring a staggering 900+ facilities. Recently, the EU's statistical office—Eurostat—announced that it would begin collecting data on member states' immigration detention statistics, which marked a milestone in efforts to promote transparency in EU deportation practices. The GDP played a leading role in helping make this happen, undertaking ground-breaking investigations like "The Uncounted," repeatedly lobbying the agency to collect and publicise better migration enforcement data, and  publishing major academic studies on the implications of the growth of unaccounted detention regimes across the region. 

"The Global Detention Project persistently unearths and publicises information about immigration detention systems so that we can build better informed societies that embrace the human rights of all migrants." Salva Lacruz (Fray Matias de Cordova Human Rights Centre, Mexico) 

ENDING THE DETENTION OF CHILDREN
We have been a leading voice highlighting the enduring harm that immigration detention has on children and have regularly provided advice on how refugee and migrant children should be treated. When officials in Geneva began seeking non-detention methods for minors in custody, they came to us looking for examples of how other countries do this. When the Swiss NGO Terres des Homme sought data to advocate  an end to Switzerland's child detention policies  at the Swiss Parliament, they came to the GDP to build the evidence for their case. Our advice and input has informed numerous global studies and reports, including those produced by the  Committee on the Rights of the Child  and the UN-mandated  Global Study on Children Deprived of Liberty . 

"It is not easy for the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) to reach out to organisations working on the ground and the Global Detention project has been an important partner in providing a bridge. But it has been more than that: The GDP has also played an important role in assisting the WGAD to spread the message that arbitrary detention occurs outside the criminal justice context." Elina Steinerte (Former Chair, UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention) 

PROMOTING BETTER HEALTHCARE
The World Health Organisation acknowledges that immigration detention is inherently damaging   to people's health, a conclusion it was able to draw in part on the basis of GDP studies and data. In 2022, the WHO asked the GDP to undertake a global evidence of review on health indicators and outcomes in immigration detention settings as part of its series,  Global Evidence Review on Health and Migration. Our systematic review of evidence,  which builds on our multi-year reporting initiative on COVID-19 in detention, has pointed to several daunting lessons, including the apparent lack of willingness by many states to implement sustainable reforms in their health provision for detained refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants, and the devastating impact this is having on people across the globe. 

"The Global Detention Project is a strong advocacy organisation that promotes the human rights of detained migrants and contributes to global debates on relevant standards and policies that govern migration."  Felipe González Morales (UN Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Migrants) 

SPURRING UN ACTION
We strive to ensure that UN human rights agencies are alerted to urgent and unfolding situations involving detained asylum seekers and refugees so that they can take immediate action to address violations and ensure that states fulfil their protection obligations. Recently, we helped mobilise UN action on the plight of refugees and migrants stuck in Ukrainian detention centres amidst Russia's bombardment, the disappearances of Eritrean refugees in Egypt, and abuses of migrants trapped in border areas between Belarus and neighbouring countries.

ABOUT THE GLOBAL DETENTION PROJECT

30 Birds is rebuilding pathways for Afghan girls to learn, lead, and live freely.

After the fall of Kabul, 30 Birds partnered with student leaders from Marefat High School, one of Afghanistan’s first coed schools, to evacuate the school’s most at-risk girls and their community. These girls were targeted because of their public support for democracy and human rights. Determined to continue their education, the girls played an active role in coordinating their own escape. Under duress, moving in small numbers from city to city and past Taliban checkpoints, we helped more than 450 Afghans - schoolgirls, family members and various activists for female education -  safely across the border and onwards to Canada, the United States, and other countries in Europe and South America.

Building on our success, we at 30 Birds are dedicated to ensuring that Afghan girls are able to thrive, regardless if they are calling a new country home, or if they are still in Afghanistan. To do so, we have implemented four major programs:

1. Education in Afghanistan and Pathways to Safety: Despite the challenges faced by women and girls in Afghanistan under the Taliban's education bans, we have partnered with Afghan educators to enable 3,200 girls to access education through underground schools within Afghanistan. Additionally, we are actively working on helping the top 60-90 students from these schools to safely leave Afghanistan each year, primarily via University acceptance abroad. We provide essential support, including assistance with university applications, visas, and scholarships.

2. Mentorship Program: Our girls risked their lives for education and professional aspirations, but now face the challenge of starting over primarily in Canada, where their prior credentials are not recognized. To ensure their long-term success, we have developed a mentorship program with established leaders from prestigious institutions, offering individualized guidance to accelerate their educational and professional goals.

3. Education Program: Our refugees Education Program is designed to support Afghan girls' education through a full suite of services that follows the girls through every stage of their academic career – from identifying programs and schools, to managing every aspect of the application process, to funding scholarships for tuition, to flexible support to help them stay in school.

4. Mental Health Program: Many of our girls are just now starting to process the huge span of emotions they are feeling – from deep gratitude for being alive, to survivor’s guilt when they think of those left behind. Our Mental Health Program will help them process these complex feelings, It has four main components: (1) Small group peer support; (2) Community Centre; (3) On the ground expertise; (4) Micro-grants for maximally flexible needs;  and (5) Intentional culture of mental health.

Welcoming refugees in Westchester Co., NY and beyond. Advocating for refugees, Sharing facts and news.

Volunteers and community institutions have a strong desire to ease the transitions, integration and independence of refugees to American life. 

Recognizing and tapping into the abundant resource of goodwill with a vision of shifting the paradigm of U.S. refugee resettlement, Hearts & Homes' mission is organized around the following mandates:  WELCOME, CONVENE, EDUCATE, ADVOCATE.  Hundreds of committed partner groups and trained volunteers have come together to welcome aspiring Americans to our communities in the Lower Hudson Valley and beyond.

Hearts & Homes for Refugees has been leading the welcoming movement, practicing and promoting the Community Sponsorship Model of Resettlement since 2016 when we resettled the first refugee family to Westchester County. Thanks to a dozen community sponsor groups and two Resettlement Agencies (HIAS and Catholic Charities) there are now nearly 100 resettled refugees in Westchester County. Hearts & Homes continues to mentor and coordinate volunteer groups or individuals, to seed more community sponsors to partner with resettlement agencies in resettling refugees. The time and resources offered by community sponsors to arriving refugees offer better chances for successful integration and independence. 

 To build on the welcoming momentum Hearts & Homes created additional programs that support our new neighbors, and create cross-cultural awareness and understanding about their journeys and needs. We empower our new neighbors with key life skills and needs such as housing and furnishings, language, driving, employment, education, and counseling assistance. The population we help includes traditional refugees, Special Immigration Visa holders (our allies from Afghanistan and Iraq), those seeking and granted asylum, and survivors of human trafficking.

In order to inspire, educate and equip others to welcome and advocate for refugees Hearts & Homes organized a dynamic network of more than 40 aligned groups in Westchester, and is a founding member of part of a national network of 24 sister community organizations. Over 2,000 volunteers are a critical piece of this scalable model for how to resettle, assist and advocate for our new neighbors. More than 800 of our new neighbors are directly impacted each year by the growing goodwill in our communities. Hearts & Homes for Refugees is lean but mighty.  We are building communities that offer refugees soft landings and support for better outcomes as aspiring Americans. We depend on the contributions of time and resources from like-minded volunteers and partners who believe everyone deserves a safe home and a hopeful future.

We are devoted to abolishing immigration detention, while ending the isolation of people currently suffering in this system.

Freedom for Immigrants is a national nonprofit devoted to abolishing immigration detention through two main strategies, while ending the isolation of people currently suffering in this profit¬-driven system. First, we mobilize a network of 4,500 watchdog community members that uncovers and tracks abuses experienced by those in immigration detention, shedding light in a consistent manner for the first time on this hidden system. Second, we are modeling a community-based alternative to detention that welcomes immigrants into the social fabric of the United States. Through these windows into the system, we gather data and stories to combat injustice at the individual level and push systemic change.

Our mission is to mend, uplift, and empower, offering vital aid and renewed hope to those impacted by geopolitical conflicts.

Ukrainian People Support: Empowering lives shattered by conflict. Our mission is to mend, uplift, and empower, offering vital aid and renewed hope to those impacted by geopolitical conflicts.

The war in Ukraine has brought immense misery and suffering to the local population. Thousands have died, while countless children and women have been subjected to violence. The country's infrastructure and economy are crumbling, leaving people to face a harsh reality. Over 6 million of those affected are women, girls, and the elderly who are fleeing across borders.

The U.S. government has created the Unite for Ukraine program, which allows any American citizen or green card holder to sponsor and rescue Ukrainian citizens by inviting them to the United States. The program provides each Ukrainian who arrives with a work permit, health insurance, and minimal food assistance.

However, since the Unite for Ukraine program is relatively new, it can take up to 3 to 9 months for these benefits to be provided. Ukrainian refugees not only need to find sponsors to bring them to the U.S. but also require help in bridging the gap until the program's benefits become available.

We take no political stand on the situation. Our concern is the ordinary people affected by the conflict.

Our two main programs cover the following:

1. Providing financial assistance to refugees displaced by the war currently living in various countries.
2. Providing refugees the ability to come to the United States under the "Unite For Ukraine" program.

SJPLF provides advocacy, financial support, and leadership to our public libraries and educational programs throughout San Jose.

At the heart of our community, libraries provide a place where everyone can learn, create, study and explore. Mrs. Ruth Kampa – a former librarian and President of the Library Commission — embraced this with her strong passion for the Library. In 1987, Ruth had the foresight to setup the San José Public Library Foundation (SJPLF) so that the Library could receive more than just public funding. In 1992, Ruth passed away and because of her bequest the Foundation was able to hire its first paid staff member. According to the original board members, “that was the tipping point that really put the Foundation in business.” The Foundation has changed and grown over the years but Ruth’s legacy to raise funds for our San José libraries still continues today.

DETAINED ADULT PROGRAM
CAIR Coalition's Detained Adult Program (DAP) works with hundreds of adults who are detained by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the Capital region. DAP provides information, legal support, and representation through trauma-sensitive, client-centered service and manages three sub-programs: the Legal Orientation Program (LOP), the Universal Representation Program (URep), and the National Qualified Representative Program (NQRP). 

DETAINED CHILDREN'S PROGRAM
CAIR Coalition's Detained Children's Program provides legal services to unaccompanied children detained by the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) in Virginia and Maryland, as well as those who are released locally to a sponsor in Virginia, Maryland, and DC. Clients range in age from toddlers to teens, and include pregnant and parenting minors. The program's services include Know Your Rights presentations, individual consultations, accompanying children to immigration court hearings and free representation, either in-house or with local law firms. Since January 2021, the number of unaccompanied children seeking humanitarian protection has been on the rise. 

When children arrive at the southern border, they are first placed in the custody of Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which is responsible for transferring the children to ORR custody within 72 hours. CAIR Coalition is the primary provider of legal assistance to detained children in DC, Maryland and northern Virginia who are held in local ORR facilities. CAIR Coalition continues to see a steady and significant increase in the number of children who are being transferred to the facilities in our region, with a detained population of approximately 150 children on any given week. The Children's Program also pioneered new forms of advocacy for children in secure detention, successfully facilitating the 'step-down' of multiple children to less restrictive placements..

IMMIGRATION IMPACT LAB
The CAIR Coalition Immigration Impact Lab (Lab) brings impact litigation within the Fourth Circuit to challenge barriers to the asylum, due process, and liberty rights of our immigrant neighbors who are at risk of detention and deportation. The Lab also works closely with major law firms, law school clinics, and local immigration and criminal bars to coordinate litigation on cutting-edge issues.

Our impact litigation priorities focus on challenging barriers to asylum, minimizing the immigration consequences of criminal convictions, and protecting due process rights for detained children and adults. The primary litigation tools we use are appeals of individual cases to the Fourth Circuit and Board of Immigration Appeals, individual lawsuits, and habeas petitions to challenge prolonged and unlawful detention of adults and children. 

SOCIAL SERVICES
CAIR Coalition's Social Services Program endeavors to provide a holistic model of service that addresses our clients' legal, as well as social services needs. From addressing immediate needs-such as housing, food, and clothing, and referrals to medical, mental health, and educational support services-to creating detailed post release plans with wraparound support, our goal is to help ensure that they have the best possible chance of achieving their legal goals and succeeding in their new homes.

The program is also responsible for leading the coordination of independent psychological evaluations. These evaluations can often provide context around mental health diagnoses, which help to identify targeted post release referrals to mental health services providers. The coordination process requires collaboration among legal staff, detention facilities, and our social services team. Mental health evaluations can shed light on any relevant psychiatric history, enabling us to provide our clients with appropriate social and legal services. Our program liaises between the legal team and independent mental health professionals by recruiting and retaining a pool of practitioners who are trained to diagnose, provide clinical and forensic evaluations, provide referrals for further treatment, and serve as expert witnesses in immigration cases, as needed.

We aim to decrease healthcare disparities and empower underrepresented youth to pursue the field of medicine. 

During the COVID-19 outbreak, minorities were dying disproportionally due to healthcare inequities. Health Equity and Empowerment were created to make a difference during the pandemic, committed to delivering health education to underprivileged areas in the United States and worldwide. Additionally, with roughly 4% of black physicians in the medical field in America, our goal is to improve that ratio to reduce healthcare inequities. We plan to do this through mentorship, conferences, and scholarships to encourage minority children to pursue careers in medicine.

Our platform is a safe space for people of all abilities and their caregivers.  We inspire the community to abandon stigmas and embrace individuals with disabilities with empathy and respect.  Together, we are better!

The mission of Dar-us-Sakina is to provide inclusive opportunities for individuals with disabilities in the Muslim community of Houston, while empowering the affected and their caregivers with social support and access to local resources.

The vision of Dar-us-Sakina is a Muslim community where individuals with disabilities are fully accepted and included, and both they and their caregivers have adequate access to support.

Dar-us-Sakina provides its programs and services to all special needs individuals and their caregivers within the Houston community, but reserves its Zakat fund for those families who are in financial need and/or crisis.

PROGRAMS AND SERVICES:

​Special Needs Weekend Islamic School Programs: At four locations across Houston, children with special needs come weekly to the masjid to learn about their faith using an adapted curriculum and to be included in the community.

Teen Adult Program (TAP): This program helps individuals with special needs take the first step to adulthood by teaching them independent life skills in a supportive social environment.

Sakina Internship: This is a one year commitment for college age students who dedicate one day of the week serving individuals with special needs while learning about related topics.

ZAKAT FUND:

Dar-us-Sakina’s Zakat fund is transforming lives of struggling families with special needs right here in the Houston community.  The Zakat Fund is reserved for those special needs families that are in financial need and/or crisis.

• A homeless single mother of an unschooled child with severe autism now able to secure a steady job and income after having been supported through advocacy and appropriate school placement of her child

• An immigrant family with no insurance and severe language barriers provided an adaptive vehicle for conveyance of their previously home bound child with complex medical needs

• A burnt out special needs caregiver on the verge of collapse provided immediate respite and counseling to prevent emotional breakdown in order to continue her long term caregiving

• A refugee single special needs mother unable to secure a job due to bullying and inappropriate school placement of her child supported through advocacy to an improved educational setting and special ed bus services, allowing mom to go back to work 

* A low income special needs family repeatedly denied Medicaid assisted through case work and legal support now successfully receiving Medicaid that covers the child’s medical treatment, surgeries, and therapies

These are the stories of those supported by the Dar-us-Sakina Zakat fund.  We are providing specialized services for individuals with disabilities, shifting them from a state of crisis to a state of well being.

Youth Timebanking St. Pete. "Our youth. Changing tomorrow's world today."

Imagine with us…
Teaching kids from 13 and up, especially those who live in marginalized communities, that they are valued for being just exactly who they are right here right now. What would happen if they got "Karma Kredits"  for doing good deeds for their families and friends, neighbors, and their community? They could do things like helping someone younger than them read or do math homework. They could read to their elders! Or maybe they could cut a lawn, rake leaves, or help pull weeds for a neighbor, how about paint a fence? Let's say they make beaded name collars for a pet shelter for animals that get adopted or are taught to crochet a hat for the local neonatal unit for premises?  Wouldn't that be AWESOME?

Let's take it a step further and let those kids meet weekly and come up with their OWN ideas to reach out to their community and we credit/value their time for doing so. Think of the possibilities. Our youth are our future.

That's what Youth Timebanking St. Pete (YTB STPETE) is all about. In St. Petersburg, Florida we're helping our youth make age-appropriate choices that expand their awareness of community and teach them how to make a difference by being exactly who they are and doing what they love to do.  YTB STPETE. "Our youth. Changing tomorrow's world today."

We believe that in community, we have everything we need. So we're on a mission to help neighborhoods become self-sufficient.


We support a neighborhood move toward self-sufficiency by organizing and resourcing groups of 5-7 people living in that neighborhood into “Neighbor Teams.” These Neighbor Teams:

- meet on zoom every 2 weeks
- meet in person once a month, and with $300 from GatherFor, to host any kind of in-person gathering they’d like
- build a culture of taking care of each other using the GatherFor workbook
- participate in a susu, in which they contribute $50-$100 each month into a common pot matched by GatherFor, with the whole pot then being given to one member of the team each month to use however they need (providing between $500-$1000 / month in financial support to each Neighbor)
- share local resources with each other through telegram groups
- join workshops open to the whole GatherFor community to learn about topics like finding housing in New York, navigating domestic violence, obtaining US citizenship, navigating conflict, telling a good story, or starting a business
- join other Neighbor Teams in the neighborhood for monthly Town Halls (with free food) to discuss best practices from each team and to inform strategy for GatherFor in the Neighborhood

In our early days, we’re piloting the approach with 30 residents of Brownsville, Brooklyn, who speak about their experience in this 2-minute video: https://vimeo.com/530636958.

Grassroots collective of Asian migrant massage, sex workers, & allies for full decriminalization and labor rights. 

Red Canary Song centers basebuilding with migrant workers through a labor rights framework and mutual aid. We believe that full decriminalization is necessary for labor organizing and anti-trafficking.  #RightsNotRaids #SexWorkIsWork

OUR TENETS.
No more police raids and deportations. Policing is not social work. Arrest and sentencing, even with diversion programming, is not a humane way to deliver social services. Labor rights in our workplaces, regardless of immigration status.

Your donation goes towards our mutual aid fund to support workers in need; legal consultation; OB/GYN & mental health services translations; bail$; community care & policy advocacy.

The most effective way to fight exploitation and abuse is to give workers the rights and resources to create respectful and safe conditions for them to survive.

InterPride brings together Pride networks and individual Pride organizations around the world.

InterPride is the international organization that advances the Pride movement by coordinating with global partners that share our values.

We are uniquely suited to carry out our work because InterPride:

- Works with and supports the visibility and development of Pride networks around the world, thereby contributing to the presence and influence of Pride efforts at regional and local levels.
- Gathers regional Pride platforms dedicated to producing Pride events for diverse global SOGIESC (Sexual Orientations, Gender Identities and Expressions, and Sex Characteristics) communities to learn and grow with each other.
- Manages, supports, and awards WorldPride™, global grant programs, and related initiatives.
In 1982, the National Association of Lesbian and Gay Pride Coordinators was formed in Boston, USA, with an initial membership of six USA Pride organizers. Over time membership has grown to include Pride organizers around the world, becoming InterPride in 1999. In 2021, membership totaled over 300 organizations from more than 60 countries. This growth has been matched by increasing diversity of membership. Since 2015, non-North American members have grown from 21% to 49%. This trend primarily reflects increased participation from Oceania and Global South (Africa, Asia, and South America).

The Pride movement continues to evolve. Pride has gained a presence in locations where it was previously absent or under-developed. There has also been significant growth in structures that gather Pride organizers together at a national or international level (known as Pride Platforms). This trend has created opportunities for InterPride to identify ways to better leverage regional knowledge to advance the rights of SOGIESC communities.

We mobilizes people and communities to transform our world so DV no longer exists, creating greater safety, justice, & equality.

Center for Domestic Peace (C4DP) leads a comprehensive community effort to end the #1 violent crime in Marin County: domestic violence. We provide transformational services and programs that protect and enhance victim safety, hold abusers accountable, and ultimately engage our community in permanent change.
Annually, we:
    -Provide 24/7 hotline support in English and Spanish to more than 7,000 calls – including safety planning, emotional support, referrals, and information.  
     -Provide emergency shelter and transitional housing for over 240 survivors and their children, along with personal and economic empowerment activities, food, clothing, transportation, accompaniment, counseling, childcare, and help securing permanent housing. 
     -Assist over 440 survivors in navigating the legal and criminal justice systems for restraining orders, custody, divorce, and other issues.
     -Help more than 180 children and non-abusing parents with case management and trauma therapy to heal the bonds of the abuse and rebuild family unity.

C4DP holds the vision of a world in which domestic violence, abuse, and intimidation is replaced with domestic peace.  We believe that all women, youth, children, and men who are abused and at risk of abuse have a right to immediate and long-term safety.  We strive to create greater safety, justice, and equality for all by building awareness and action toward changing the social norms that promote or enforce violence against women.  We seek to make domestic violence a major community concern among all residents and social institutions (schools, hospitals, police departments, etc.).  We believe that change results from the action-oriented participation of large numbers of people, organizations, and institutions, inclusive of survivors.  We see intergenerational leadership as essential in our multigenerational task of ending domestic violence and violence against women and girls.
