SHero Thailand works for the elimination of domestic violence and
the de-normalisation of violence culture in Thailand.
Since our founding in 2016, we have worked to provide legal and emotional support to survivors of violence, lead workshops on gender-based violence protection, and advocate for better access to justice
for violence survivors.
To achieve our goal, we empower young people to combat violence culture within their community. We believe that anyone can be a hero, or shero, who create better changes for the community, the country and the world.
To denormalize violence culture
Ensuring access to justice and empowering survivors
We stand with survivors by providing legal and emotional support. In our work, we believe in survivor-centred approach with respect to the dignity of survivors in every steps towards their liberation from violence.
Strengthen protection mechanism for survivors
We provide workshops and trainings on GBV protection and case management, while promoting survivor-centred approach to ensure that the rights and dignity of survivors are upheld and respected.
Making changes in policy-level
At Shero Thailand, we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in addressing the challenges for survivors in access to justice.
“No matter how many wounds from relationships we carry with us, everyone has the right to be loved and well cared for.”
As a lawyer providing counsel to survivors of domestic and intimate partner violence (IPV), Best-Busayapa Srisompong (Director and Founder of SHero Thailand) shared a powerful perspective on the TEDxMahidolU stage under the topic “Truth to the Heart”.
This talk invites everyone to dismantle societal myths by demonstrating that over 90% of intimate partner violence does not manifest through physical abuse alone, but is hidden beneath the iceberg in the form of “Coercive Control”. This gradually deprives individuals of their decision-making power, causing many people to lose confidence in themselves and become trapped in a cycle of relationship from which it is difficult to step out.
If you or those around you are facing invisible wounds… may this talk serve as a safe space that helps restore inner strength and reaffirms your right to a safe life.
