Help Amalie end rape culture
Donation protected
Who I am
My name is Amalie, I am 21 years old and live in Denmark, Aarhus. On a daily basis, I am studying at The Kaospilots which is an enterprising leadership school.
I am an activist, writer and influencer. I am also a rape survivor.
My story
In 2014 I became a victim of rape. I was at that time travelling in Costa Rica. Despite of clear evidence, the man who raped me didn't go to jail - unfortunately, this is far from uncommon. Right after the incident, I posted the full story online for the world to see. Up to this day, I am still wearing the dress I wore the night I was raped, as a statement and to put focus on victim blaming. You can read one of my latest articles on the subject here.
What I do & Why
I have up to now been doing most of my work through social media and online platforms. I write for different magazines and create awareness through my Instagram account @Scandinaviandreamgurl.
The type of work I am doing, is called cyber activism.
The account has over 51.8k followers. As my following is rapidly growing and my work is spreading worldwide, I have been invited to join in on several projects, where I would be able to create a lot of value.
I am doing this work, because the World needs to change, and simply because I can: I have a privilege. I have the privilege to talk about my rape and create awareness on this global issue - without being punished or killed. I want to use this privilege in the best possible way.
Why I need donations and for what
I am not earning a dime on the work I am currently doing and this has never been an issue - until now, as it is holding me back from starting up my own projects and joining in on others, as I can't cover the expenses myself.
One of the challenges with humanitarian projects, are that they are often either non profit or exclusively runned by volunteers, therefore I am not earning money on my projects and my collaborators are not in positions to cover my expenses.
It bothers me, that I have to say no to work on important projects, simply because I can't afford it money wise.
I am now entering an exciting project phase where I am going to continue the work I already do beside school. The project period is running for two months.
I believe the best possibly way to make an impact in these two months, is getting out in the real world. To do that, I kindly ask for your help.
Donations will go to:
- Travel expenses and housing
- Transport
- Materials & food for workshop
- Food & transportation for volunteers
- Film production
- Website
Follow my work
As mentioned above, some of the donations will also go to launching my website - here you will be able to follow my work as it envolves.
Until then, you are welcome to follow my work on Instagram.
Thank you for your time, your generosity and your support.
Warmly,
Amalie Have
