UNI against GBV
What if we united university networks for good? For impact? What if we worked together to create safer, more inclusive spaces on campuses and address the root causes of gender-based violence (GBV) and inequality? Universities have something not everyone has – access to diverse voices, perspectives, and resources.
Our Why
Higher education should be a space for opportunity and growth, but for many, it’s marred by harassment and violence. UNI brings diverse perspectives together to create safer campuses by addressing gender-based violence (GBV) head-on, developing scalable prevention models that extend to schools, workplaces, and communities, driving lasting cultural transformation.
