About Us
Sercle Inc. is a global community and impact-driven startup, on a mission to build a safe and trusted platform that empowers survivors of sexual and gender-based violence with holistic healing through cutting-edge peer support, personalized digital services, data-driven insights, and survivor-centric education.
We started Sercle Inc with a simple idea: Victims and Survivors know what it’s like to live with the effects of sexual violence, and they can teach us more than we can teach them. We also knew that if victims and survivors had the tools to track their own progress and compare themselves to others who have gone through the same thing, they could learn more about how to improve their outcomes. Our goal is to make as much data as possible openly accessible to researchers, parents, school administrators, journalists, policy-makers, local and international institutions, and all citizens so that we can work together to prevent future crimes.
Sexual misconduct, which often has little substantive evidence and frequently comes down to a he-said/she-said situation remains one of the hardest cases to prove in court, if they make it to court at all. Focusing on survivors and shining a light on their experiences is about changing hearts and minds. The people who are living their lives every day around the world, shape policy. We need people to really understand what it means to be a survivor and to have deep empathy with that experience. So that when they go out every day, and they – one way or another, affect survivors’ lives, they’re doing it with an understanding of what it is that they have experienced.
As a social enterprise that is committed to putting impact on the people and the planet above profit, we reinvest the majority of our profits to achieve sustainability, grow our impact, and ensure the fulfillment of our mission.
