Transforming Personal Pain Into Positive Action: The Pixel Project’s 16 Female Role Models 2023
The Pixel Project kicked off our 2023 campaign with our annual list of 16 female role models working to end Violence Against Women across the world.

We simply aim to continue giving a shout-out to women who are on the front lines of the fight to end gender-based violence and we hope to highlight as many of these inspiring women and their work as possible in the years to come.

In 2022, as the world struggles to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic and anti-VAW advocates and activists continue to rebuild after the pandemic leaves decades of efforts to combat VAW a crushing setback triggered by what UN Women dubbed the “shadow pandemic of violence against women”, the number of domestic violence, child marriage, female genital mutilation, and femicide cases stubbornly remain much higher than the already devastating pre-pandemic numbers.
