Re-building lives through economic inclusion
Humans of Purpose Academy is creating a world where women's economic inclusion protects them from harm, and empowers them to thrive personally and professionally.

We draw on the strengths of women and non-binary people to #backherfuture — and wrap the required supports around them to truly thrive.

Our Theory of Change
How the work moves — from the problem we exist to solve, through what we do, to the change it creates in women's lives.
-
The problem
Women with lived experience of domestic and family violence face barriers to safe, flexible and secure career opportunities, leading to isolation and poverty or a return to violence. The opportunities in the growing digital economy are not reaching enough women, who constitute only 30% of the workforce — well under benchmarks for other industries.

I learned from Danielle to have strength to face problems.
For the first time in a while, I felt ahead rather than behind.
Leaving an abusive relationship is an early step, not the finish line. That's why ongoing, practical support matters.
This opportunity means the world to me. I'm ready to start this new chapter with hope and purpose.
