FOR EVERY
VOICE SILENCED,
WE ECHO.
Advocating for meaningful justice reform that strengthens accountability & improves the experiences of victim-survivors.
OUR PURPOSE
“The Echo Campaign exists to ensure that no voice is lost to silence.”
Too often, those most affected by violence are the least represented in the conversations that shape the systems designed to support them. The Echo Campaign exists to ensure victims' voices are not only heard, but reflected in the decisions, policies, and reforms that shape the future.
OUR WORK
Reforming the justice system so accountability is built into every aspect of a victim-survivor's experience.
Strengthening accountability, transparency and trauma-informed decision-making within the courts.
JUDICIAL REFORM
Changing the laws that shape how serious sexual offences are investigated, prosecuted and sentenced.
LEGISLATIVE REFORM
Changing the systems and practices victim-survivors encounter throughout the justice process.
PROCEDURAL REFORM
ACCOUNTABILITY IN EVERY ASPECT
Because meaningful reform requires accountability at every stage.LATEST NEWS
