    AVA Project
    AVA is an expert, groundbreaking and independent charity working across the UK.

    Our vision
    A world without gender based violence and abuse.

    Our mission
    Working with survivors to end gender-based violence by championing evidence-based change.

    Our guiding principles
    Survivors are at the heart of everything we do.
    As a feminist organisation, we understand that ending violence and abuse means challenging societal attitudes in order to change the behaviour of individual perpetrators.
    AVA is a fiercely independent organisation. We are informed by the lived experience of survivors, robust evidence and a passion for equality.
    We can make more of a difference in partnership than alone. We all have a responsibility to work together to end violence against women and girls.
    We strive to take an intersectional approach to all that we do.
