Upcoming Events (2023)

According to a study conducted by Gallup, safety is one of the critical needs of community members. As leaders, the systems, cultures, and values that we create can either damage or promote a sense of safety, particularly for people who have experienced trauma. In this workshop, learn the primary components of emotional safety and practical ways to transform your systems. Register here.

Are you a survivor of sexual abuse looking for a community of support? When sexual abuse happens, feelings of hopelessness can take over. But you are not alone. Reclaim is a support group for survivors of sexual assault to help survivors reclaim their voice, body, and hope. This will be a safe space for survivors to share practices that support their healing journey after sexual violence. Register here.

1 in 3 women are survivors of sexual abuse worldwide. Putting this into context, this means one-third of your female relationships at work, church, or in your family may have experienced sexual abuse. Knowing this might change the way we support survivors of sexual abuse in our communities. Whether you’re a pastor, church leader, corporate manager, parent, or student, we can all play a transformative role in preventing sexual violence wherever we are. Partnering with faith-based organizations, Freely in Hope is excited to invite you to this hybrid event that equips faith leaders with survivor-led solutions to combat sexual abuse. We believe that faith-based organizations can be a leading example that transforms abusive systems into sanctuaries of safety throughout our world. Register here.

How FIH Is Strengthening the Ecosystem of Care for Survivors in Kenya

Kenya’s fight against sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) is far from over. Poverty, harmful cultural practices, lack of GBV awareness, lack of access to justice among others perpetuate violence in many Kenyan communities. In addition to that, survivors when seeking for help face stigma, fear and trauma not only from the violence itself but also from systems that are meant to provide protection, support and justice. Instead, the systems end up silencing them. As a result, it makes their healing difficult and the violence hidden.

Partnering with Together Women Rise to Expand Survivor-Led Child Protection in Kenya

We are proud to announce a new partnership between Freely in Hope and Together Women Rise, a global community of women and allies advancing gender equality worldwide in the Global South.
Through this partnership, Together Women Rise is investing $50,000 over two years to support the expansion of Pendo’s Power, Freely in Hope’s trauma-informed, play-based program designed to prevent and respond to child sexual abuse in under-resourced communities.

How Maryanne’s Story Became Her Strength

The weight of my community’s silence was heavy. Growing up, I didn’t just witness violence; I lived in its shadow, watching as systems and customs quietly expected women to remain small, silenced, and in servitude. I saw women I admired trapped in cycles of abuse, their dignity chipped away until their dreams seemed impossible.
