5 3 Million of Us (7 billion Others, The Goodplanet Foundation) To send a message to women that You are not alone. To empower women through exploring/sharing/supporting their stories Interactive visualization of stories from women who have experience violence All different stories are shown as a form of mosaic (keywords, image, video, etc.) Women can explore/share/support stories When new stories have added to the mosaic, they will blink for one week, showing that VAW are ongoing situation all over Finland

Community building blogs The NL Community builds on blogs, women s shared stories of survival. Each blog can become a building block for a sheltering brick castle or a colourful mosaic.

6 Community building blogs The NL Community builds on blogs, women s shared stories of survival. Each blog can become a building block for a sheltering brick castle or a colourful mosaic. Each story may be colour-coded according to the phase it represents in the process of recovery and self-empowerment. As the community of women in equal situations becomes visible, it may help troubled individuals to realize in concrete terms, that they are not alone. The anonymous stories can also lead people to initiate their own online groups for peer support. The guiding principle is to preserve the anonymity and integrity of the women behind the stories. A blog can be anything between one story and a daily diary. Any contributions to the castle/mosaic need an authorization from NL.

Because only very few NL clients shall have an access to a f2f support group, the casual peer meetings would reach a lot wider group of women.

7 Peer Picnics The Peer Picnic is a live peer meeting, where people can gather just as friends do. There could be for instance five locations, where the picnic is organized regularly, eg. once per week. Events can be shared via Facebook. Because only very few NL clients shall have an access to a f2f support group, the casual peer meetings would reach a lot wider group of women. If some code language is needed because of possible stalkers, for instance strawberry could mean the Park of Koff, blueberry Töölönranta etc. If needed, an online peer group could also start by a joint picnic, so that the identity of every person is safely verified.

Spotify Survivor Music is one of the most empowering things. Oppressed women can add their favourite pieces to the I will survive playlist at the NL web site and play it in Spotify.

8 Spotify Survivor Music is one of the most empowering things. Oppressed women can add their favourite pieces to the I will survive playlist at the NL web site and play it in Spotify. When women do not have much space outside home and cannot get into contact with peers, they can feel the support of the NL community through the shared experience of the empowering music. The guiding principle is that no-one is left alone. Even a minimalistic sign of peer support may help to recreate the sense of dignity.
