The FADO Approach
The Power of Storytelling
FADO uses Socially Engaged Theater to help victims share their stories safely and openly. It’s not about reliving trauma but about finding strength in telling the truth. Through workshops and performances, victims can connect with others who understand their struggles, turning isolation into a sense of community and understanding.
This kind of storytelling isn’t just about the past—it’s a way to build a future where victims aren’t defined by what they’ve been through but by what they choose to do next.
Staying Safe with Remote Access
What makes FADO really stand out is its online platform. Victims can access resources, connect with others, and learn new skills—all without having to leave home or expose themselves to danger. The platform is designed to be easy to use, with videos, interactive materials, and secure social media platforms where participants can share openly without fear of being tracked or found out.
Building a Real Support Network
FADO isn’t just about helping individual victims—it’s about creating a network of people who care. By bringing together educators, social workers, therapists, and artists, the project makes sure victims have real support from people who understand what they’re going through. It also gives these professionals the tools and training they need to respond with compassion and skill.
This kind of network doesn’t just support victims; it challenges communities to step up and address the root causes of gender-based violence.
Looking Forward
FADO is a promise. A promise that victims don’t have to stay silent or hidden. A promise that their stories matter and can inspire real change. By giving them a safe way to speak out and connect, FADO is helping to build a world where gender-based violence is no longer ignored or accepted.
In the end, the strength of FADO is simple: it listens to victims, it believes them, and it gives them the tools to rewrite their own stories—on their own terms.
