VOICES AMPLIFIED, a Feminist-Inspired Social Justice and Technology Organization
- About Us -
Voices Amplified Inc. is a team of senior women experts, with well-established track records in research, activism, philanthropy, data science, technology, funding, human rights advocacy, and policy engagement with local and international NGOs, governments, think tanks, and institutions such as the UN.
We work to bring technological innovations and data collection and analysis together with substantive work on social justice and human rights. Associates contribute extensive expertise in working with a gendered lens, advancing women’s rights and LGBTIQ+ rights, international development and human rights processes, data science (from collection to visualization and analysis), and social justice advocacy and movement building.
The organization is profoundly committed to amplifying the voices, insights and expertise of grassroots, activist, and under-represented and under-resourced communities, both locally and globally.
