In 2024, our founder, Alek Wobeck wrote a blog post about preventing child sexual abuse inspired by my own experiences as a survivor. While researching the topic, I came across the Australian Childhood Maltreatment Study and Australia's National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children.

When the Epstein files were released earlier this year, I was horrified and dumbfounded by the atrocities committed. I grew more and more cynical and distressed as virtually no support was given to women and girls by businesses or schools to process and cope with the events. After realizing how heavily involved Bill Gates was in Epstein's affairs, I came to the conclusion that there was no way I could get meaningful grant funding to protect women and children from violence given the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's influence on public health. I became more and more frustrated with the links between Western universities and Israeli institutions, and I ultimately arrived at the conclusion that I could accomplish more through launching my own social venture(s) than as an academic.

I am working on building a Board of Directors to oversee our operations and manage the Not All Men Foundation Fund. I strive to build a diverse group of change makers comprised of business leaders, academics, community organizers, medical professionals, parents, and anyone who has a passion for protecting and supporting women and girls.

For now, I will leave you with one of my favorite quotes that holds a profoundly special place in my heart:
