Little by Little we can End Domestic Violence

Dear supporters and GlobalGiving community,

We are happy to share an update on the progress of our project Little by Little, We Can End Domestic Violence. Your support has helped us continue to grow and improve Chatbot Sophia to support victim-survivors of domestic violence around the world.

Impact Highlights:

• We launched Chatbot Sophia’s new website. The site is now significantly more user-friendly and features a broader range of relevant resources for survivors seeking support. The chatbot interface has also been redesigned to resemble a separate chatroom, helping users feel safer and more comfortable when speaking with Sophia: www.sophia.chat
• We expanded Sophia’s knowledge base by drafting and integrating 36 new Knowledge Articles. Sophia can now respond more effectively to questions on topics such as the cycle of abuse, how to support a friend, neighbour, or colleague experiencing domestic violence, and mental wellbeing during and after abuse, among many others.
• We made Sophia’s support available to 2.4 million people in the Republic of Moldova! Sophia can now support people in Romanian, Ukrainian and Russian to find the nearest support services, provide information with regards to their rights and police processes. 

Behind the Scenes:

We’ve been deepening our partnerships with frontline organisations in preparation for even greater reach and refining Chatbot Sophia’s prompt logic, improving her responsiveness. 

We are deeply grateful for every contribution that helps us move the needle in making a violence-free world a reality for every woman. This campaign has helped us connect with new supporters and reflect on how we communicate our impact more clearly. A valuable learning moment we’re taking forward.

Looking Ahead:

In the coming months, we plan to:

• Officially launch Chatbot Sophia in new countries. On 10 June, we will be holding a launch event in Slovakia in collaboration with local partners. Sophia will be available to support survivors by providing expert information across the country in Slovak and Ukrainian.
• Launch a new design of the Digital Safe, Sophia’s in-built secure storage centre, where survivors can upload supporting documentation (photos, videos, screenshots, voice-recordings, documents) of the abuse they may be facing. 
• Implement feedback received as a result of consultations with domestic violence experts, survivors, law enforcement, and social services into Sophia’s core features.

Thank You:

Thank you for being part of this journey. Every donation, every share, every message of support helps make Sophia a stronger, safer companion for those navigating the unimaginable. Together, we are building a future where dignity, safety, and justice are never out of reach.

With appreciation,

The Spring ACT team
