Input to Resource and Curriculum Development

When it comes to tackling gender-based violence (GBV), it’s not enough to rely on statistics or expert opinions. Real change happens when we listen to those who’ve lived through it. Survivors’ voices offer a perspective that’s deeply personal, raw, and real—something that law enforcement, social experts, or policymakers alone can’t fully capture. Yet, these voices are often left out of the conversation.

At SAFE, we’re here to change that. Through our Input to Resource and Curriculum Development service, we work with employers, community organizations, and educators to make sure survivors’ experiences shape the tools and training programs meant to address GBV.

We know how important it is to make resources feel relevant and relatable, not just theoretical. That’s why our team—made up of people with lived experience and professional expertise—collaborates to create materials that resonate. Whether it’s training staff to recognize signs of abuse or helping organizations foster supportive environments, our approach ensures that the realities of GBV are front and center.

We also understand that everyone sees abuse differently, and open, honest conversations are key to creating understanding. By bringing diverse perspectives to the table, we help organizations develop resources that are compassionate, practical, and effective.

If you’re creating training or educational materials and want to make sure they really connect, SAFE can help. Let’s work together to include the voices that matter most. Reach out to us today, and let’s create something meaningful that makes a real difference.
