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.
