Transforming Personal Pain Into Positive Action: The Pixel Project’s 16 Female Role Models 2024
The Pixel Project kicked off our 2024 campaign with our annual list of 16 female role models working to end Violence Against Women across the world. Unlike other “Top 10″ or “Top 50″ or “Top 100″ lists, this list is not a popularity contest. We do not select candidates based on the prestige or the fame of the activist. We simply aim to continue giving a shout-out to women who are on the front lines of the fight to end gender-based violence and we hope to highlight as many of these inspiring women and their work as possible in the years to come.

The Pixel Project Selection 2024: 16 Artists Against Violence Against Women
Visuals can impact us in a way that words often cannot. That is why from Bosnia and Herzegovina to Guyana to China, art has proven to be a powerful medium to protest and address violence against women (VAW). This list of 16 artists working to end violence against women celebrates the transformative power of art in addressing this human rights issue through the work of diverse and visionary artists worldwide. Each artist uses a unique creative expression ranging from sculpture and painting to textile and multimedia installations to confront and challenge the pervasive issue of violence against women. Their artworks not only raise awareness but also serve as poignant reflections of societal norms and injustices by amplifying marginalised voices and advocating for change.
The Pixel Project Selection 2024: 16 Maps About Violence Against Women
In this article, we present 16 maps about violence against women across the world. We hope that the maps and resources featured will shed some light on the prevalence and repercussions of the various types of violence against women throughout the world, and that some of you reading this will be inspired to help contribute to the activism and research needed to create such maps as part of the movement to eradicate violence against women.
Thanks to social media networks such as Facebook, the power for change in the world today is more in reach than previously imaginable. For difficult human rights issues such as violence against women, Facebook helps organisations and activists keep the subject – be it acid attacks, female genital mutilation or domestic violence – at the forefront of people’s minds. This article presents The Pixel Project’s 2024 selection of 16 notable Facebook pages by anti-violence against women nonprofits, charities and grassroots groups.
The Pixel Project presents our inaugural selection of 16 organisations and activists using Instagram in service of the cause to end violence against women.

The Pixel Project Selection 2024: 16 Anti-Violence Against Women Resources Online
In this article, The Pixel Project presents 16 anti-VAW resources that anyone anywhere with an internet connection can access for free. The list is divided into two sections: global resources and region or country-specific resources. We have included a mix of searchable databases and knowledge centres. Each one has a specific function. Some enable users to search for the nearest point of help for victims and survivors, be it a women’s shelter or sexual violence helpline. Others are centralised informational virtual hubs and libraries for anyone looking to learn more about VAW (or a particular type of VAW). Still others are treasure troves of statistics, reports, maps and other information that activists, advocates and academics can use to deepen their knowledge about VAW and augment the impact of their campaigns and research.
The Pixel Project Selection 2024: 16 Feminist K-Dramas about Violence Against Women
As a key player in South Korea’s Hallyu wave, Korean dramas (popularly known as K-dramas) have led this movement which popularised Korean pop culture around the world years before the meteoric rise of K-Pop. In K-dramas produced from 2016 onwards, themes that reflect women’s lived experiences, such as rampant gender discrimination in the workplace, the horrors of rape culture, and the monstrosity of domestic abusers, have increasingly become embedded in many K-dramas whether as a major storyline or a brief but impactful scene. We hope that our selection of 16 feminist K-dramas will not only provide thought-provoking viewing for you but also inspire you to examine traditions and social mores and take action to stop VAW in your own family, community, and workplace.
The Pixel Project Selection 2024: 16 Films About Violence Against Women
The Pixel Project showcases a list of 16 films, documentaries and shows about Violence Against Women every year. In 2024, our selection includes a diverse range of documentaries, films, and TV series that feature the stories of women from across the world. The majority of 2024’s comprises films and series that are available on major streaming networks worldwide. There is also a selection of older releases which may be accessible by DVD or on more specialist streaming services. What many of the films and series have in common this year is that they examine what happens when women fight back against the abuse and if they are afforded the justice they deserve.

In this list, we present our fifth edition of 16 male role models against violence against women featuring a diverse list of men from across 15 countries who are doing their bit to create a more gender-equal world. In this post-Weinstein world where so many prominent men have been revealed as domestic abusers and sexual predators, we hope our list of male role models will provide living examples of positive masculinity that inspire and galvanise men and boys worldwide to become a part of the solution.
The Pixel Project is pleased to welcome our annual guest “16 For 16” article from our partner MenChallenging, an organisation that challenges men to prevent gender-based violence and support its victims and survivors. In this article, MenChallenging presents a list of examples of men who exhibit positive masculinity, some more subtle than others, and mostly from the US as that is where we are based and do most of our work. We hope that examples like these are one way we can build a more just and less violent society and world.
The Pixel Project Selection 2024: 16 Authors Against Violence Against Women
In 2014, The Pixel Project was proud to introduce our Read For Pixels campaign. Read For Pixels was created in recognition of the longstanding power of books to shape cultural ideas, trigger social change, and influence the course of history. The campaign has gone from strength to strength and through our 2024 Read For Pixels initiatives, we worked with 16 award-winning bestselling authors who hail from genres as diverse as Science Fiction, Fantasy, Crime, Thrillers, Mystery, Romance and Horror . Many of them are global celebrities with strong fan followings, others are well-respected in their countries or genres. Still others are up-and-coming stars who have decided to use their talents to support women’s human rights. It is the movement to end VAW that unites and inspires them and we hope that all of them will continue to work with the movement.
The Pixel Project Selection 2024: 16 Books About Violence Against Women
Stories have the power to fire the imagination and provoke new thoughts and ideas. For this purpose, The Pixel Project has put together a list of 16 books that depict violence against women and girls. Some of these stories are fictional and some are not, but all of them will educate the reader in some way about violence, rape culture, cultural mores and misogyny. This list is not exhaustive; there are hundreds of stories out there that deal with violence against women in its various forms. But we hope that these 16 stories will education and inspire you as they have galvanised others over the years to push for change in your community.
In 2024, anti-VAW advocates and activists continue to rebuild after the COVID-19 pandemic dealt decades of efforts to combat VAW a crushing setback triggered by what UN Women dubbed the “shadow pandemic of violence against women”; the number of domestic violence, child marriage, female genital mutilation and femicide cases stubbornly remain much higher than the already devastating pre-pandemic numbers. However, even in the midst of all this bleakness, anti-violence against women activists and advocates, individuals, communities and nonprofits/charities are continuing to fight for the right of women and girls to live their lives free of gender-based violence. In the spirit of the defiance, strength and determination of these fierce activists and advocates worldwide, this article shines a light on 16 pieces of positive news of significant progress and breakthroughs in the global battle against violence against women in 2024.
