OUR PURPOSE

Healing and Resilience
after Trauma

HaRT is a feminist organization supporting women and girls affected by gender-based violence. Together we are working toward a world where violence does not define lives—and where all survivors experience the compassionate support they need to heal, flourish, and transform their communities.

Our acronym — HaRT — symbolizes our organizational culture, centering care and AUTHENTICITY in everything we do.

What people are saying
about HaRT:

“When you do HaRT you live in peace, you feel like the peace is all yours. You feel all the love is yours. You feel relaxed, your mind is relaxed without any pressure. You start looking at the challenges that you are facing as nothing, they do not weigh you down. You get the courage from within you that empowers you to face any challenges.”

— PARTICIPANT FROM UGANDA

“We all have daily problems, Miss. And HaRT has been a big help, because not everyone is willing to listen to you. And, I’m happy because at least once a week, you can release your feelings, miss, and you can open up and the pressure will be lifted from your chest. It’s really heavy if you face the problem on your own.”

Participant from the U.S.

“Just doing the yoga, being around the people that also have trauma in the same way, it really, really helped me. I felt like I had a community, for sure.”

— PARTICIPANT FROM THE U.S.

“Today’s HaRT session made me feel happy. I realized we were doing a poem. We were expressing our feelings without talking. The way we moved our bodies showed that we are in control of our bodies.”

— PARTICIPANT FROM UGANDA

“​​The thing that gave me encouragement was the warrior pose. Because whatever happened in my past or what will happen in the future, it is important to be a warrior . . . It’s like you have to keep your stance, keep a strong stance on the ground, and that you have to strengthen your feet to stand up to the challenges.”
