Our Vision & Mission

fearlesshe is a global collective committed to the advancement and liberation of women and marginalized folks of all identities.

our vision

a safe, healthy, equitable and inclusive world.

Our mission

is to transform how women of all identities and marginalized folks are seen, heard, treated, supported and valued.

We disrupt and challenge systems, patterns and beliefs that harm, oppress or exclude. Our work is centered around amplifying, advancing, advocating and creating access for women and marginalized communities to learn, lead and lean in to their power.

fearlesshe was born out of the belief that everyone matters. That freedom, wellness, learning, safety and equitable access is a right for every human around the world.

That oppression, discrimination and abuse, need to be treated at its roots, by disrupting the harmful systems, beliefs and behaviors through challenging, unlearning, dismantling, relearning, rebuilding and deep healing.

Domestic abuse is one of the most under reported and un-convicted crimes, yet affects more people than we want to talk about, all over the world. Most of the experiences around this type of abuse comes from those people close to the person - partners, family or friends.

Below is some data that continues to drive our work and impact. Our hope is one day, these stats will no longer exist.

• Almost 3 women are murdered every day (USA) and 1.2 women each week (UK) by their current or former partner. Of all intimate partner female homicides in 2018, 92% of victims were killed by a man they knew, and 63% were killed by current husbands, boyfriends, or ex-husbands.

• 47,000 women and girls worldwide were killed by their intimate partners or other family members in 2020. This means that, on average, a woman or girl is killed by someone in her own family every 11 minutes. (United Nations Doc on Drugs and Crime)

• The estimated lifetime prevalence of physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence is highest for women between the ages of 20 and 44 years. However, the analysis also showed that intimate partner violence starts early in women’s lives: almost one in four (24%) ever-partnered adolescent girls aged 15–19 years was estimated to have been subjected to such violence at least once in their lifetime WHO (World Health Organization).

• 70% of women will experience physical and/or sexual violence in her lifetime by an intimate partner according to WHO (World Health Organization).

• Workplace sexual harassment is widespread, with studies estimating that anywhere from almost a quarter to more than eight in ten women experience it in their lifetimes. Among women, Black women were the most likely of all racial and ethnic groups to have filed a sexual harassment charge.

• Ministry of Justice figures from 2020 show that 1,717 cases of rape involving a male perpetrator and female victim led to a prosecution. Of these, 492 led to a conviction (29%). Over the past four years, prosecutions for rape in England and Wales have fallen by 70%.

• According to the world economic forum gender pay gap report 2022, it will take 132 years to achieve economic gender parity.

• The gender racial earnings gap is even wider for all women with earnings than for full-time year round workers. For Latinas, the ratio for all workers with earnings falls to 53.6 percent; for Black women, the ratios were 63.7 compared with 67.2 percent; for White women, 73.3 compared with 79.9 percent, and for Asian women (not including Native Hawaiians or Pacific Islanders) 86.0 compared with 92.2 percent when compared with White men’s earnings.

• 8 out of 10 new women owned businesses are women of color, yet they only represent 3% of C-suite and corporate board roles.

• 8.8% of Fortune 500 CEOs are women. 1% are women of color. (women CEOS in America)

• Comparing the global average for men and women in 2021, men were 33% more likely to receive an internal leadership promotion than women. In countries like the Netherlands and Spain, men are 69% and 65% more likely to get promoted internally (LinkedIn Gender Equity in the Workplace)

• Black people, who account for 13 percent of the U.S. population, accounted for 27 percent of those fatally shot and killed by police in 2021, according to Mapping Police Violence, a nonprofit group that tracks police shootings. That means Black people are twice as likely as white people to be shot and killed by police officers.

• All types of women, trans women and non-binary folks are under-represented in political and economic decision-making processes around the world.

• One in five LGBTQAI+ people have experienced a hate crime or incident due to their sexual orientation or gender identity in the UK.

• Nearly 200 anti-LGBT+ incidents have been reported in the US in 2022, marking an increase of three times compared to 2021 and 12 times compared to 2020

• NCAVP reported that 91% of all LGBTQ homicide victims were Black, and 64% of homicide victims were Black transgender women. (GLAAD)

Incremental change is not good enough, we need fearless, transformative change. Transformation begins by being bold, taking risks, failing forward and creating something new. This takes courage. This takes movement through our fears. This takes fearlessness. This is fearlesshe.
