Freely in Hope equips survivors to lead in ending sexual violence across Kenya and Zambia. We host events in the Bay Area that showcase survivor-centered work, vision, and solutions from our communities.
We will use the funds to host a photo exhibit during the UN's #16DaysofActivism campaign to fight against sexual violence. This photographic project, Fully Awake, discusses femininity, female empowerment, and light from darkness through a series of conceptual portraits. The goal of this series is to emphasize the strength, power, and dignity of survivors who are “Fully Awake”. As a result, they are building a violence-free world.
Peerspace is on a mission to bring people together. We believe it is impossible to achieve that goal unless we also fight for equality and access to resources in the communities we serve.
Having a space to gather, create, and exchange ideas is an important part of any movement. In order to magnify voices that are often quieted, Peerspace will sponsor venues for people who challenge prejudice and fight for social justice and equality.
Each quarter, we will sponsor space for three projects that are relevant to our community. These projects can range from fundraisers and educational initiatives to art exhibits and photo series.
