BRAVE

What is a catalytic movement? A catalyst is an agent that provokes change or action. BRAVE Global is a movement to inspire and empower all girls, but especially those who are vulnerable, and encourage them to be their own advocate. BRAVE also acts as a way to connect girls to the community. That’s where we—The Salvation Army—come in.

The Salvation Army has a long history of serving those who face difficult circumstances. We are a movement for justice and change, with community focused churches. Our partnership with BRAVE epitomizes that love for people and the desire to see growth and hope, while rooted in our local context. Like The Salvation Army in its earliest days, we believe that placing girls and women at the centre of our mission is one of the greatest strategies for change, in policy and in practice, at every level.

BRAVE is a movement that starts with meeting girls where they are, regardless of socio-economic circumstance, educational attainment, life experience or goals and ambitions.

But it’s important to remember that it’s not the programs, décor or even the quality of the speakers that makes the greatest difference in the lives of all attendees. The most essential element of BRAVE is the relationships that occur in the weeks, months and years after the event.
