Help Human Rights Screened Foundation by Donating Writing Material for 180 Females in prison due to GBVF- Self Defence crimes.
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
During our August Month Department of Corrections GBVF roundtable program, we aim to provide the participants with writing material as part of their personal empowerment packs. Each roundtable will include: • Short, emotive film or visual clips around healing, hope, and overcoming trauma • A moderated discussion, followed by a journaling or reflection activity • Encouragement to continue writing and reading as part of their healing practice • Guided prompts to explore identity, emotions, and life after release Reading & Writing Materials Requested for Incarcerated GBVF Survivors (30 per prison x 6 prisons) Items Needed: • A5 softcover notebooks or journals (lined) • Pens (clear plastic barrel) • Pencils & erasers • Uplifting and inspirational books (devotionals, poetry, women’s memoirs) • Adult colouring books • Crayons (no sharpeners) These tools are intentionally soft, creative, and personal—offering a sense of privacy and empowerment in a highly controlled environment. Providing writing and reading materials restores agency and voice. Journaling, reading relatable stories, and simple acts like colouring support emotional regulation, stress relief, and self-expression. For many, this may be their first step toward healing and reclaiming their narrative. • 180 women total (scaling per prison based on GBVF-related incarceration stats) • Each participant receives a full set of items • Activities are coordinated in collaboration with prison wellness and educational departments • Long-term benefit: notebooks can accompany women into post-release reintegration programs
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.

- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
