Voices Unheard – Giving a Voice to the Silenced

Our organization focuses on raising awareness of gender-based violence—especially the forms that are less visible and empowering women, particularly those in their teens and twenties, to speak up and seek help. Our Mission Voices Unheard is dedicated to promoting women's rights and safety through outreach, education, and accessible consultation services. Our specific goals are: To increase access to our consultation services by 30% annually through online platforms and local outreach. To boost the number of consultations, especially from younger women, by 25% each year by 2028. We believe that change starts with awareness. That’s why we plan to use shortn form videos on TikTok and Instagram Reels to highlight real life examples of violence, especially the subtle or emotional kinds that are often overlooked. We also aim to work with influencers on social media, whose voices can amplify ours and help reach wider audiences. Offline, we’ll host on-campus events, set up posters and booths, and even engage in casual conversations to normalize talking about these issues. Classmate Feedback and Our Response What we heard: “Having female motivational speakers could encourage people to speak up and bring a positive message.” “Try to make people feel comfortable to speak up.” “There are a surprising number of male victims too—consider including them.” “It might be hard to gain trust through SNS alone. Maybe explain how your NPO is safe and get support from schools.” “Too many words—try more bullet points.” “Use more visuals like graphs and categories.” We were really encouraged by the supportive feedback, especially on our use of social media and clear goals. We also appreciate the thoughtful suggestions on how to make our message more accessible and inclusive. Here’s how we’d improve our plan based on your input: We’ll invite female guest speakers who have powerful stories to share, to inspire others and create a space of empathy and courage. We’ll consider including male victims in some of our content, since violence can affect anyone regardless of gender. To build trust, we’ll collaborate with schools and official institutions to promote safety and credibility. For better communication, we’ll redesign our slides with more bullet points, less text, and more visuals like infographics and charts. This project is personal to us because we’re two young women who want to address these issues in a way that feels relatable, non-judgmental, and actionable. Thank you. Sena

woman rights and domestic violence

  Hello. My name is Sena and my name is Chiharu. I am a university student in Japan, and I am currently studying mainly English language and English literature in detail. We are deepening our discussion on women's rights and domestic violence. The reason why we decided to research this topic is because we believe that in our country, problems related to women's rights and incidents of domestic violence by men against women have been increasing in recent years. We would like to study in detail the current situation in Japan where women are still looked down upon and the psychology of those who commit violence against their loved ones. I would like to update my blog once a week. Please read it. How does domestic violence impact women’s efforts to achieve equal rights? Women who are victims of domestic violence live in constant fear, making it difficult for them to make positive choices about their own lives. This limits their opportunities for work, education, and political parti...

Results of the survey on woman right's and domestic violence

Image
 In this article, I would like to introduce and analyze three questions'  results in detail, which were particularly impressive.   First, the question " Have you ever experienced psychological violence? "  By this question, almost two thirds of all responders answered Yes.    This result indicates that the percentage of people who have experiences psychological violence is higher than the percentage of people who are physically violented. When asked specifically from whom they experienced psychological violence, many said from family members, including fathers and mothers.    This survey convinced us that many people have experienced psychological violence, but that this fact is hidden from the public. We have to try to improve this situation.    Next question is... "Have you ever heard if the phrase "economic violence"?"      To this question, many(80 ％ of all responders) said they did not know about economic violence. In...
