Gender-based violence (GBV) remains one of the most pressing social issues in our communities, affecting individuals across different ages, backgrounds, and social classes. At The 7-Fifteen Philanthropic Foundation (The 7-Fifteen Foundation), we believe that everyone deserves to live free from fear, harm, and discrimination.
This is why we have partnered with the Gender Mobile Counseling Initiative (GMCI) to strengthen the fight against gender-based violence, ensuring that survivors receive the support they need and that society as a whole becomes more aware and proactive in preventing GBV.
Why This Partnership Matters
Gender-based violence is not just a private issue—it is a societal problem that requires our collective action. Survivors often face emotional trauma, stigma, and barriers to seeking justice.
Through our collaboration with GMCI, we are working to:
- Provide Counseling and Support Services: Survivors of GBV need a safe space to heal. GMCI offers professional counseling services to help individuals process their experiences and rebuild their confidence.
- Raise Awareness and Educate Communities: Knowledge is a powerful tool in combating GBV. Our partnership focuses on awareness campaigns, school programs, and community discussions to shift mindsets and promote gender equality.
- Advocate for Policy Change: Addressing GBV requires systemic transformation. Together, we advocate for stronger legal frameworks and enforcement mechanisms to protect victims and hold perpetrators accountable.
How 7-Fifteen Foundation Is Making a Difference
Since the launch of this partnership, we have already taken steps toward meaningful impacts by providing the financial help needed for the following GMCI initiatives:
- Adolescent Wellness Hub Initiative – Addressing sexual & gender-based violence in secondary schools with a focus on prevention and support to adolescents between ages 10 and 19. Support includes mental health support, trauma counseling, educational support, and skills empowerment.
- Skill up Women and Girls – Building the economic resilience of women who are victims of sexual and gender-based violence by equipping them with commercially viable skills and identifying market access for them.
- Campus Safety Initiative – Addressing sexual & gender-based violence in tertiary education institutions so that students can have educational experiences devoid of sexual and gender-based violence including survivor support (financial, social, legal, and psychological. )
- Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Program – Sexual abuse prevention initiative for children between ages 3 and 9. Support includes mental health support, trauma counseling, educational support, and skills empowerment.
- Survivors-support initiative: Providing mental health support to victims of drug abuse, gender-based violence, and female genital mutilation.
