Breakthrough’s mission is to prevent violence against women and girls by transforming the social norms and cultures that enable it. Its distinctive approach combines the power of media, popular culture, grassroots community mobilisation and leadership development to change hearts, minds and behaviours. Breakthrough engages young people, communities, educators, government stakeholders and other change agents through innovative campaigns, training and community programmes. Its internationally recognised Bell Bajao ("Ring the Bell") campaign encouraged men and communities to take action against domestic violence. Today, Breakthrough works to address issues including gender discrimination, child and early marriage, and violence against women and girls. By building a growing Breakthrough Generation of change agents, the organisation aims to create lasting social and cultural change and enable women and girls to live safely, equally and with limitless opportunities.
