A humanitarian campaign against gender-based violence
It's my fault. It's not my fault.
Every day, survivors of violence are asked what they wore, why they stayed, why they didn't speak sooner. This campaign exists to answer once and for all: it was never their fault — and no one should carry it alone.
Shame is heavy. We help set it down.
"It's my fault, it's not my fault" began as a sentence survivors whisper to themselves — half-believed, never finished. The work is to finish it for them, in public, until the world stops asking victims to carry guilt that was never theirs.
We say it out loud
Blame belongs to one person only: the one who caused harm. Campaigns, classrooms and communities repeat it until it sinks in.
We stand beside survivors
From the first call for help to the long road after, the campaign funds counselling, shelters and hotlines so no one faces it alone.
We protect the next generation
Teaching children and young people about consent, safety and their right to be heard — before harm ever reaches them.

Nicole's story
I was the researcher who wasn't believed.
While researching gender-based violence, Nicole sat across from a survivor and dissociated — her story became her body's story. When she tried to speak about what was happening, no one believed her.
So she did what she knows: she turned the research into a script. Not to entertain — to show, in front of people's eyes, what disbelief does.
"When a woman in desperate need asks for help and no one believes her, her life is put in danger. Believe her the first time."
Nicole — researcher, actress & advocate for survivors of gender-based violence
A magazine Nicole started
OBSERVE™ Issue 01
OBSERVE was born from the same question this campaign asks: what happens when we truly look? Too many people are asked to look away from a woman in danger — to doubt her, to stay out of it, to decide she must be mistaken.
This first issue is where the research, the script and the stories meet on the page. It asks its readers to do the one thing disbelief never allows: observe, and believe what she is telling you.
Ultra Violet — the colour of standing with survivors.
In their words
“For eleven years I opened my mouth and apologized for existing. The day a counselor said “it wasn’t your fault” out loud, something in me finally stood up straight.”
“My daughter asked me if it happened because she was bad. She was six. That is the moment I understood why this sentence has to be everywhere.”
“I used to finish the sentence for people: it’s my fault… it’s not my fault. Now I only ever say the second half.”
Shared by survivors who chose to be heard. Names are withheld, words are theirs.

That's our target — and I'm not taking no for an answer.
I am raising money for a fresh start in America, raising awareness on all of these causes, and making “Nicole” into a small statue.
And I am making a book — a season of books — out of this. The books go to the gender-based violence organisations I am working closely with. Thank you.
These donations go to me and my Small Statue Big Heart™ — this is not a scam. I nearly died for this project. If I see anyone saying I am a scammer, I will make sure you go to prison for defamation of character.
A campaign and research initiative against human trafficking
Humanity Without Limits™
Small stature. Big heart. Every person deserves a life of freedom — a campaign standing against trafficking with compassion, credible evidence and a commitment to human dignity.
Dignity is not a privilege. It is a human right.
The size of a person never defines the size of their impact. This work brings together awareness, research and compassion to help build a world where no one is bought, sold or exploited.
Make the truth visible
Published research, not assumptions — the figures behind exploitation, set out plainly, so the myths have nowhere to hide.
Put people before statistics
Behind every number is a human life. Awareness is shared with dignity, never sensation.
Connect people with help
Linking those who need support with the specialist organisations already doing the work, region by region.
27.6M
people living in forced labour — the global estimate for 2021, including 6.3 million in forced commercial sexual exploitation (ILO, 2022)
38%
of detected trafficking victims worldwide are children (UNODC, 2024)
25%
more victims detected in 2022 than in 2019, before the pandemic (UNODC, 2024)
Child labour
Childhood should never be a job.
India
10.1M
children aged 5–14 were working (Census 2011) — 3.9% of the country’s 259.6 million children in that age group. ILO · Fact Sheet on Child Labour in India, 2017
Bangladesh
1.78M
children aged 5–17 in child labour (2022 survey), of whom 1.07 million were in hazardous work. Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics · National Child Labour Survey 2022
China
7.7%
of children aged 10–15 were working (research estimate for 2010); about 90% combined work with schooling. ILO Child Labour Observatory · China Economic Review, 2018
138 million children were in child labour worldwide in 2024, 54 million of them in hazardous work (ILO–UNICEF, 2024). Asia and the Pacific saw the greatest progress, with the number of children in child labour falling 43% between 2020 and 2024.
Safety & support
You are not alone. Help is within reach.
If you or someone you know may be experiencing trafficking, you deserve support. In the United States, the National Human Trafficking Hotline is open around the clock.
Use a device you trust if you can. In immediate danger, call your local emergency number — and never confront a suspected trafficker. This campaign is a research and awareness initiative, not an emergency service: it points to independent organisations whose availability and confidentiality policies vary.
