This final episode of Valiant Voices marks a powerful transition.

Three weeks ago, Global Rights for Women formally merged with BWJP—bringing together two organizations rooted in survivor-centered advocacy, systems change, and the belief that justice must be both local and global.

In this conversation, GRW’s Founder and Executive Director Cheryl Thomas joins BWJP CEO Amy Sanchez to reflect on:

• Why now was the time for this historic merger

• How GRW’s international mission will expand within BWJP

• What this means for survivors, advocates, and partners around the world

• The real challenges—and the deep alignment—that made this possible

• What comes next in this shared movement for justice

This is the final episode of Valiant Voices, but the work continues. Going forward, you’ll find the same bold, thoughtful conversations on Taking Back Control, BWJP’s podcast dedicated to ending gender-based violence through survivor-centered solutions.

We invite you to join us there—because the mission is only growing.
