Partnering with leading local and international organizations, we design and implement applied research and provide technical assistance to develop new tools, guidance and innovative interventions that can improve health and protect lives. We bring deep expertise in gender-based violence prevention and response, rigorous methods, and collaborative approaches with communities and practitioners to understand emerging challenges in the field and develop solutions that have the potential for large-scale impact both locally and globally. Currently, we are working to better understand the needs of marginalized youth impacted by violence and exploitation. We use youth-centered, participatory methods to promote youth voice and agency and engage youth as partners in designing solutions and driving change.
