 WE WANT YOU TO BE A PART OF OUR STORY
 

Freely in Hope’s Founder and International Director, Nikole Lim, is releasing her first book, Liberation is Here—capturing stories of women uncovering hope in a broken world. By joining the Liberation is Here Launch Team, you’ll play an integral role in promoting the book on your social media, writing a book review on the site you bought it from, and bringing important and powerful stories of hope to the world.

Freely In Hope

ABOUT THE BOOK

Liberation Is Here is the story of Nikole Lim’s journey as an idealistic freelance filmmaker. Her career allowed her to step in and out of the lives of people who had experienced oppression around the world. But when confronted with the prevalence of sexual violence in Kenyan and Zambian communities, she commits to advocating alongside the courageous survivors whose lives have intersected with her own.

Illustrated with dramatic full-color photography from Lim’s own camera, Liberation Is Here transports us to forgotten corners of the world. 

Her journey proves that liberation is not just near, but it is here—in the eyes of the broken, the hearts of the oppressed, and the untold stories of our global community.

Q& A From Pain to Power – The Super Girls Revolution with Magdalene

As a survivor of sexual violence, I started SGR in my mother’s backyard because the need to ensure girls were supported through mentorship, education, and empowerment was so urgent. My dream was always consistent: to mentor girls to take up space and be leaders, allowing every light in the community to shine.

How Safe Spaces and Survivor-Led Care Are Multiplying Healing

The movement to end sexual violence is undergoing a profound and necessary transformation. For decades, the global conversation has often focused on external interventions and temporary aid. Today, a new, powerful model is emerging: one that centers the unshakeable wisdom, expertise, and leadership of African survivors. This isn’t just about inclusion; it is a strategic shift toward sustainability, efficacy, and genuine, lasting societal change.

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.
