Binti Safe Haven was founded in response to the growing need for a dedicated platform to address and mitigate the effects of gender-based violence (GBV). The journey to its incorporation is deeply rooted in a history of advocacy, awareness, and community-driven efforts to combat the systemic issues that lead to violence against women and vulnerable groups. The organisation’s creation was fueled by a desire to protect survivors, provide essential resources, and advocate for societal change.
The founders of Binti Safe Haven recognized the alarming rise in GBV cases, especially within marginalized communities, where limited access to education, legal protection, and healthcare heightened the vulnerability of women and girls. This led to the development of a comprehensive strategy that not only focused on immediate relief for survivors but also sought to address the root causes of gender-based violence, such as poverty, cultural norms, and lack of education.
Binti Safe Haven’s foundation is based on three key pillars: prevention, support, and advocacy. Prevention involves community education programs, awareness campaigns, and partnerships with local authorities to raise awareness and stop violence before it starts. The support pillar focuses on providing survivors with safe spaces, psychological counseling, legal assistance, and reintegration services. Lastly, advocacy aims to influence policy changes at both local and national levels to create stronger legal frameworks that protect vulnerable individuals from violence.
Incorporating Binti Safe Haven as a formal organization was a vital step in scaling its efforts. It allowed for better structuring of services, partnerships with global NGOs, and the mobilization of resources necessary to support the many survivors of gender-based violence. Today, Binti Safe Haven continues to operate with the same passion and commitment that drove its inception, striving to create a safer, more equal world for all.
