PREVENTING SEXUAL VIOLENCE
ONE OF THE WORLD’S BEST INVESTMENTS

For more than a decade, Ecuador Dice No Más has built an internationally recognized human rights and protection model to prevent sexual violence against girls, adolescent girls, women, children, and vulnerable communities.
Our survivor-led work educates families, schools, institutions, and communities; strengthens child protection systems; advances gender equality and inclusion; and mobilizes people to take concrete action.
We turn awareness into prevention, prevention into protection, and survivors into leaders capable of changing systems.
Protection changes lives.
It improves health, education, safety, access to justice, gender equality, human rights, and sustainable social development.

Breaking the Silence
Ecuador Dice No Más launched the NO MÁS campaign, a national movement against sexual violence that reached 12.7 million people, encouraged thousands of reports, and created one of the first support spaces in Guayaquil for survivors and mothers of victims.


Together with UNICEF, we launched the #AhoraQueLoVes #DiNoMás campaign, reaching 15 million people and helping Ecuador recognize sexual violence against children as a national issue. Our educational programs benefited 4.8 million children and adolescents, 150,000 teachers,
and 12,000 public schools.

Constitutional Change to Protect Children


We helped advance international child protection standards in Ecuador and contributed to the constitutional change that established no statute of limitations for sexual crimes against children and adolescents. We also strengthened survivor support through the SANARTE® program.

Our educational videos and materials reached five continents and surpassed 22 million downloads. We created Misión Prevención®, an educational program that teaches children self-protection, boundaries, and sexual violence prevention.

Prevention and Support During the Pandemic
During the pandemic, we activated support programs for victims and families, including Seguros en Casa® and Seguros en Línea®. We published the educational story El día que aprendí a decir NO and expanded our training programs to communities across Latin America, Europe, Australia, and the United States.

We consolidated a national and international network of protective adults through ACTÚA®, strengthening prevention, detection, and protection skills that directly benefited 125,000 children and adolescents.
