GOTU (pronounced /gō・too/) is building a survivor-centered space that brings together research, community, and technology all designed to support those of us victimized via sexual violence, in ways that feel safe, practical, and within our control, and make meaningful social and political change.

What We’re Building

A survivor-centered ecosystem that creates safe, structured spaces for connection while honoring each individual’s voice and autonomy. Through responsibly gathered insights, we develop clear, usable reports that inform social awareness and support meaningful legal change.

We’re building slowly and responsibly, with safety and integrity as the priorities.

  • A team of survivors is doing this work with intention, transparency, and accountability at the center. The focus is not on authority, but on creating something thoughtful, responsible, and shaped by the needs and experiences of the people it’s meant to serve.

  • Our approach is both systemic and strategic. We are moving beyond conversation. Insights gathered from this work are used to create clear, usable reports that can inform awareness, influence systems, and contribute to social and legal change over time.

  • We work with two groups of people:

    1. survivors of sexual violence who are seeking support that respects our autonomy, pace, and individual experience. This includes those of us who may feel underserved by traditional systems and are looking for a more structured, thoughtful space to reflect, connect, and move forward on our own terms.

    2. We also work with members of the public and policymakers who are committed to understanding survivor experiences and using that insight to drive meaningful, responsible change.
