Domestic and gender-based violence is a serious issue affecting women and girls worldwide. Victims often suffer in silence, feeling isolated and powerless. Recognizing that males are the main perpetrators, the TRC Pledge initiative focuses on educating men and boys to stand against this injustice.
The TRC Pledge is a commitment to take actionable steps to prevent domestic and gender-based violence within our communities. The pledge is not just a statement—it's a call to action. By taking the TRC Pledge, you commit to:
- Raising Awareness: Educate others about the prevalence and impact of domestic and gender-based violence.
- Supporting Victims: Offer support and resources to victims, helping them find safety and solace.
- Promoting Equality: Advocate for policies and practices that promote gender equality and protect the rights of all individuals.
How It Works

- Spread the Word: Share your video on social media platforms and tag @trconversations. Encourage your friends, family, and followers to take the pledge too.
- Live Your Commitment: Follow through on your pledge by actively participating in community efforts, supporting local organizations, and staying informed about the issue.
