      Our Vision

      A future without sexual violation.

       

      We see a time where sexual violation towards women is no longer a leading social issue. Women have grown far too accustomed to fighting or ignoring sexism, sexual harassment, and sexual assault. These are not and should not be considered as a part of daily life.

       

      Men and women today want to change that, and we're helping make it happen.

      Our Mission

      Empathy breeds change.

       

      We believe that by empathizing with the experience of both sexes people can create meaningful social change towards the end of sexual violation.

       

      Phoenix Risen’s Empathy Workshops have been built around this core belief. Empathy Workshops create a structure and space for men and women to investigate themselves, communicate with others, and design solutions to issues surrounding sexism and sexual violation. Our team, our partners, and our Workshop Warriors are spreading these workshops globally today. Join us on our mission.
