No Means No Worldwide is an international non-governmental organization dedicated to ending sexual and gender-based violence against women and children worldwide. Through their proven No Means No sexual and gender-based violence prevention curricula, they train instructors in high-risk environments to empower girls and boys aged 10-20 to defend themselves. The program equips girls with assertiveness, boundary-setting, and self-defense skills, while boys learn about gender equality, consent, and how to intervene in potential assault situations.

No Means No Worldwide also focuses on increasing the disclosure of sexual violence experiences and providing comprehensive support referrals. Their approach is based on the Empowerment Self-Defense model, which has consistently proven to reduce rates of sexual assault. By engaging both girls and boys, No Means No Worldwide fosters a culture of mutual respect and drives generational change.
