Where courage meets collective action
Join the movement to end gender-based violence through collective self-defense, solidarity, and real-time intervention. Inspired by bonobos. Led by us.
Sisterhood is our superpower
The Bonobo Sisterhood Alliance is a global movement rooted in the radical idea that we can end gender-based violence—together. Inspired by the female bonobo primates’ model of collective protection, we empower individuals and communities to interrupt harm in real time, build safer spaces through sisterhood, solidarity, and action.

Events
May Bonobo Sisterhood Community Conversations
Beyond Bonobos: Mothers, Mentors and Protectors
Sunday May 3rd at 5pm EST
Zoom Registration
A week before Mother’s Day, we’ll open a conversation about something we see clearly in bonobo society: older females actively support, mentor, and protect younger ones. That intergenerational alliance is one of the reasons bonobo communities are more cooperative and less violent.
What might we learn from that?
We’ll explore how guidance, solidarity, and shared experience can help younger women navigate the world, and how older women can play a powerful role in shaping safer, stronger communities.
Please join us.
