Our theory of change posits that creating a safe and nurturing environment for children and young people results from interactions between three sub-systems: 1) children, young people, and family/community; 2) deep social norms and 3) power and policy. The change we seek will come about because of 

The agency of individuals and the change in the relationships and patterns of interaction among children, young people, and adults within families, community, and local institutions such as schools settings;

a shift in the social norms that legitimize and perpetuate violence and sexual violence

an enabling policy and power environment which  provides access to resources and opportunities.
