Velocity Empowerment

Who we are

Velocity Empowerment is a social enterprise tackling gender-based violence through emotional, mental, and physical self-defence. We run prevention and early intervention programs, and for each corporate program purchased, a scholarship program will be donated to DFV partner organisations.

Our vision: Create strong, empowered, resilient women and girls who know their self-worth.

Our mission: Prevent incidences of sexual assault, domestic and family abuse, support victims/survivors, and help women recover by building a scalable program that can be rolled out in companies, universities, and community organisations to create systemic change.
