Our Story
Let’s Advocate was born from a growing realisation that preventing violence against women and girls requires us to look beyond the moment harm occurs and examine the attitudes, behaviours, inequalities and systems that allow it to take root.
Founded by a human rights advocate whose experiences across cultures shaped her understanding of how violence against women and girls can be normalised and manifested differently across societies, Let’s Advocate was created to bring greater attention to the issues that often go unseen or unchallenged.
Our work is rooted in the belief that prevention begins with awareness. Through awareness, education and advocacy, we aim to give people the knowledge and language to recognise harmful behaviours, understand their rights and contribute to safer, more equal communities.
Because VAWG is not simply a women’s issue. It is a human rights issue, and preventing it requires all of us.
Meet the Founder
Victoria Iroboinose
Founder & Director, Let’s Advocate CIC
My passion for human rights has been shaped by my experiences across cultures and a desire to better understand the inequalities that affect people and communities.
With a Master’s degree in Human Rights and experience supporting young people, victims and survivors of domestic abuse and crime, I have developed a particular interest in prevention, education and creating spaces for meaningful conversations.
My journey has taught me that lasting change requires us to question what we have come to accept as normal, listen to different perspectives and equip people with the knowledge and confidence to speak up and make a difference.
This is what led me to create Let’s Advocate.
What We Believe
Prevention is a Shared Responsibility
We believe violence against women and girls is not simply a women’s issue. It is a human rights issue and a collective responsibility. Prevention cannot depend solely on women and girls changing their behaviour. We must also challenge the attitudes, norms and systems that enable violence.
Education is a Form of Prevention
We believe education can play a powerful role in prevention. When people have the knowledge and language to understand consent, boundaries, healthy relationships, equality and harmful behaviours, they are better equipped to recognise concerns, make informed choices and challenge what they see.
Collaboration Creates Change
We believe meaningful change requires collaboration. By working alongside young people, communities, educators, organisations and other advocates, we can better understand the gaps and work together towards practical solutions.
Our Values
Our values guide how we approach our work, our relationships and the change we seek to create.
People First
We place people at the centre of everything we do. Every individual deserves care, respect and to be treated with dignity.
Justice with Compassion
We are committed to challenging injustice and harmful systems while recognising that lasting change requires understanding, education and compassion.
Integrity
We act with honesty, accountability and consistency. Our work is grounded in doing what is right, even when it is difficult.
Empowerment through Education
We empower individuals by providing knowledge, tools and safe spaces to build confidence, understand their rights and make informed choices.
Equality & Dignity
We believe everyone has equal worth and the right to live in safety, dignity and respect. We value diversity and believe inclusive communities are stronger and healthier.
How We Create Change
Our values guide how we work. Our three pillars guide how we create change.
Through awareness, education and training, and advocacy, we work to challenge harmful norms, encourage meaningful conversations and contribute to the prevention of violence against women and girls.
