A New Media for Women

Safe World shares stories from around the world

The hub of our work is our webzine: 'Safe World for Women'.

Our webzine contains hundreds of articles on women’s rights issues and interviews with key women’s rights advocates. Covering a range of subjects from human trafficking, domestic violence and honour killings to children’s rights and conflict and peace.

Advocating, Campaigning, Informing

Safe World campaigns for women's rights advocates who have been unjustly detained.

Early in 2010, the Safe World Campaign took up the case of a woman prisoner held without charge in solitary confinement in Iran, Sarah Shourd.

At that time there were no NGOs advocating on her behalf, so we worked with the families and the European media to raise awareness of Sarah’s solitary confinement and torture, helping to bring Sarah’s case to the attention of Amnesty International and the United Nations.

Sarah was released in September, 2010.

We began advocating for other women prisoners and women’s rights advocates who were unjustly detained.

Working at the Grassroots

Throughout the world there are thousands of small organisations working on the ground in their regions, helping people to develop sustainable livelihoods.

These organisations and groups seldom receive publicity and often struggle to connect with potential donors. To help with this, Safe World partners with grassroots organisations and groups working with women and children.

We help our Field Partners by highlighting their work, and encouraging public support for individual grassroot projects.

Through connecting with locally-based groups, we can help to make positive changes in a sustainable and culturally-sensitive way.
