Collaboration

This project reaches readers in Dutch and English through books and a growing public resource hub. We want to work with specialists whose day job is research, advocacy, prevention, victim support, safe-at-home coordination, masculinities work, and relationship and sexual health literacy–so that our content stays accurate, safe to use, and useful next to professional care.

What we offer partners

We bring clear, survivor-centred storytelling; access to author- and publisher-led campaigns; and room for bilingual materials that complement books without replacing formal services. We are open to expert review, joint messaging, and careful cross-referral–always with transparent limits on what a website can do.

Ways to work together

  • Content alignment: fact-checking, terminology, and “what to say next” pathways that match your protocols.
  • Signposting: prominent links to your helplines, reporting routes and services where appropriate.
  • Research & heritage: citations, reading lists, and historical or policy context from knowledge institutes.
  • Co-developed tools: checklists, glossaries or event formats that carry both our voice and your safeguarding standards.
  • Public education: shared campaigns that respect dignity and avoid sensationalising abuse.

Speaking your language

The kinds of partners we engage with work across distinct missions (see our About page for how we position the project). Here is how we aim to meet each kind of partner where they already are. This is illustrative; describing a field does not imply endorsement of any specific organisation.

Knowledge institutes & archives

We share an interest in evidence, nuance and the long arc of gender equality. We welcome research-backed corrections, use of your collections where relevant, and debate that strengthens how we frame women’s rights and histories for a wide audience.

Feminist & women’s-rights networks

We want to amplify structural analysis and campaigning without blurring the line between public information and political action–giving your issues room while keeping our pages usable for survivors and allies first.

Sexual wellbeing & equality

We connect consent, agency and healthy boundaries with the same clarity we use to name coercion and control–so pleasure-informed and rights-based language can sit alongside safety, without minimising harm.

Victim support

What we publish is information and solidarity, not casework. We foreground free, professional support after crime or violence, help people understand rights and next steps, and avoid competing with your front-line services.

Safe-at-home coordination

We help people recognise risk earlier and understand how advice and reporting routes work in the Netherlands, in plain language–always deferring to regional procedures and never substituting official assessment or intervention.

Masculinities & prevention

We foreground allies and bystanders, challenge controlling behaviour early, and value work that engages men and boys in gender justice–complementing women-led and LGBTQIA+ movements without replacing accountability.

Sexual health literacy & rights

We treat sexual autonomy, boundaries and relationship skills as part of the same conversation as coercion–aligned with comprehensive education and rights framing, in terms voters, educators and young people already recognise.

Principles

Accuracy and safety before speed; survivor agency at the centre; no sensationalism; clarity about what we are not (not therapy, not emergency services, not a substitute for statutory safeguarding).
