INSPIRED & INSPIRING
When the world seems dark and the work too heavy, come here to find us – you are not alone. This section is a free space that is intended to nourish our hopes and beliefs that social change is possible for the human species.
Welcome to the new site for Building a Bigger Wave! Please note that we will be adding new content and features over the next few weeks as we transition into using our new online space.

Network Features
TOGETHER WE ARE WISER
We have a common agenda to create a society without violence against women and children. Find powerful stories of coordination and collaboration and the importance of cultivating strong relationships. This is a space to also share your stories with us.
One People - Many Voices
The people most impacted by violence are also most often left out of decision- making and planning. They hold a wealth of the very perspectives we need.
EDUCATING OURSELVES
Violence issues are complex – there is always an answer that is clear, simple and wrong. Strive to understand the systems and the ways we can work together for collective impact.
TAKING ACTION MAKING CHANGE
We all have a role in creating the world we want. We are the ones we have been waiting for. Speak truth to power in a way that can be heard.
COLLECTIVE IMPACT
How do we capture the critical outcomes? What do we want to measure in our communities and how does that inform us? Do we have any shared measures? How will we know we are making a collective impact?
