The Women's Wisdom Initiative

We use the power of art to transform and heal trauma.

WWI provides survivors of gender-based oppression and their allies an opportunity through the healing arts to speak their truth, heal and personally connect their voices and wisdom to a global conversation of compassion, empowerment and gender equality.

Our initiatives are for everyone and are an additional tool for self empowerment, available to existing aid and violence prevention programs working with all persons (cis, trans, non-binary and those who hold fluid identities) who are subject to gender-based violence.

Our Initiatives

WWI believes deeply in the power of healing arts and courageous storytelling to unify individuals, often across continents. Our work is built on the premise that by channeling traumatic experience into creativity, survivors can begin to heal, build support, share resiliency and become leaders in ending gender-based violence.

We welcome all voices to be heard, including cis, trans and non-binary persons that are subject to gender-based violence.
