The oisf has become a vehicle to promote conversation and raise awareness of the prevalence of abuse in our communities. Through our advocacy work, we are helping to end the silence and stigma surrounding abuse and give survivors and all women and girls a voice and a safe space to share their stories.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $36k to $21k (−43%).
