Survivors Agenda is an initiative that amplifies the voices of survivors of gender-based violence, providing a platform for advocacy and storytelling. It aims to create a supportive community where survivors can share their experiences, connect with resources, and drive systemic change through collective action.
For Survivors Agenda, a collaboration between the initiative and Rewav, we embarked on designing a website that serves as a central hub for survivors of gender-based violence. Our team focused on creating a platform that was not only visually compelling but also deeply supportive, secure, and easy to navigate. The initial design phase involved understanding the unique needs of survivors, resulting in a website that seamlessly integrates advocacy resources with personal storytelling. We prioritized implementing robust security measures to ensure the safety and confidentiality of users, creating a secure environment where survivors can share their stories without fear. Through this process, we ensured the site’s architecture and aesthetic reflected the project’s mission of empowering survivors and fostering a sense of community.
The primary goal for the Survivors Agenda website was to enhance engagement and interactivity among its users. To achieve this, Rewav incorporated interactive elements such as storytelling portals, community forums, and resource directories. These tools were designed to encourage survivors to share their stories, connect with each other, and access critical resources. By prioritizing user experience, we facilitated a safe and dynamic online environment where survivors can find support, advocate for change, and build a collective voice.
Understanding the importance of providing comprehensive support, the website was equipped with a wide range of tools and materials. This included educational guides on advocacy strategies, directories of supportive services, and interactive modules that guide survivors through the process of sharing their stories safely. These resources were meticulously crafted to empower users with the knowledge and skills needed to advocate effectively and connect with necessary support systems. The website serves as a repository of information and practical tools that help survivors not only share their experiences but also drive systemic change.
The collaboration between Rewav and Survivors Agenda has evolved into a sustained partnership marked by mutual satisfaction and continuous improvement. Our ongoing engagement with the project allows us to keep the website updated with the latest research and advocacy strategies, ensuring it remains a leading resource for survivors. Both teams express enthusiasm for the project's impact and the positive feedback received from users nationwide. This enduring relationship is built on a shared commitment to amplifying survivor voices and the joy of working together to foster a more supportive and empowered community.
