In 2022 we evaluated our work to date and listened to feedback from partners around the world. In response, we are updating our approach to focus on building a survivor-centric environment, funding and building the foundation for a movement, and supporting advocacy. Hear more from GFEMS CEO, Sophie Otiende:
GFEMS and the National Survivor Network have developed a first-of-its-kind
resource that offers guidance and tools to support organizations’ progress toward meaningful survivor engagement.
We are incredibly proud of our inaugural portfolio and work over the past few years, including:
60+
Partnerships formed.
We have worked with local and regional NGOs, governments, and researchers to create local solutions that are scalable and replicable.
105,000+
lives directly impacted.
Our programs across Asia, Africa, and Latin America are having real, life-long impact for survivors and those at risk of trafficking.
50+
research studies conducted.
Our research has supplied new data to the field, filling information gaps to help better inform policy and interventions.
We provide flexible resources and capacity strengthening to grassroots NGOs creating and implementing solutions.
“Because of this project, we were able to move mountains…The partnership with GFEMS made a difference. We really valued their trust not only in the Ople Center but in the women who we have been helping.” –Susan Ople, Founder, Blas F. Ople Policy Center and Training Institute
