Ending violence against women and girls
In a world that yearns for positive change, we extended our hand to the Aspire community and asked for help. Our mission? To uncover those fearless initiatives boldly championing towards the goals of UN Sustainable Development Goal 5 – Gender Equality.
What we discovered was nothing short of extraordinary: women of the Aspire community working with unwavering commitment for all women and girls around the world. They’re all working towards an equal world. Now, it’s your turn..
Liluye
Liluye, or “Singing Hawk While Soaring,” was created by Jill Langhus-Griffin, a passionate individual who cares about compassion, fairness, equal rights, and making a difference, primarily due to her own personal abusive history and background.
We are a global, collaborative community with Native workshops committed to empowering people and trafficked survivors. We provide survivors with safe places to work, viable trades, living wages, agency training, and holistic resources to help them heal, grow, and thrive.
Liluye’s addresses SDG 5.2, to eliminate all forms of violence against all women and girls in the public and private spheres, including trafficking and sexual and other types of exploitation. It also addresses SDG 8, to provide decent work and economic growth for all, and SDG 13, to provide sustainable products that are sustainable or circular in their supply chain.

Red Dot Foundation
Founded in 2012 by ElsaMarie DSilva, the Red Dot Foundation Group works at the intersection of gender, technology, communications, data and urban planning and Safecity is its flagship program.
Safecity is a platform that crowdsources personal stories of sexual harassment and abuse in public spaces. This data which maybe anonymous, gets aggregated as hot spots on a map indicating trends at a local level. The idea is to make this data useful for individuals, local communities and local administration to identify factors that causes behavior that leads to violence and work on strategies for solutions. Since our launch on 26 Dec 2012 we have collected over 50,000 reports from all over India, Kenya, Nepal and other countries.
Our mission is to make cities safer by encouraging equal access to public spaces for everyone especially women, through the use of crowdsourced data and technology.
