WHO IS OUR FOUNDER?

Zinthiya Ganeshpanchan has over 15 years of experience working in the not-for-profit sector, designing and delivering programmes aimed at combating and preventing violence against women. Working to alleviate poverty, discrimination and helping to give women and girls a voice when they don’t have one.

Her expertise include providing leadership training and capacity-building support to not-for-profit organisations, in particular women-led organisations in the UK as well as developing countries, designing and developing programmes to prevent gender-based violence in emergencies as well as working on issues relating to women, security and peace.

Zinthiya creates opportunities for open dialogue about women’s issues so that everyone has somewhere to turn to.

She said: “Growing up in Sri Lanka, I witnessed the violence women and girls undergo and saw abject poverty and social exclusion. I have witnessed the impact of a prolonged conflict that led to communities being torn apart.

“These have taught me to value humanity, democracy and civil liberties that this country offers that we so often take for granted.”

The work she undertakes through her numerous ventures is laying the foundations for a future where women and girls can live fulfilling lives.
