About
Fairspace exists to build a world where everyone feels safe- at work, on the street, and in their communities. Harassment is pervasive, often invisible, and deeply normalised. It limits freedom, silences voices, and shapes how people move through the world every day. We believe it doesn’t have to be this way. At Fairspace, we take a community-first approach to change. We co-create solutions with the people most affected by harassment- listening to lived experiences, understanding local contexts, and building responses that are not only effective, but owned by the communities themselves. This ensures that the change we create is not temporary, but lasting. Our work spans multiple touchpoints to shift both behaviour and culture. We design and deliver 360°, start-to-end …
Fairspace’s mission is to end harassment and build a world where safety, dignity, and respect are the norm, not the exception. We believe lasting change requires more than awareness. It requires action, ownership, and cultural transformation. That’s why our work brings together community co-creation, education, policy influence, and culture-shifting initiatives to address harassment from every angle. We partner with communities to co-create solutions that reflect real needs and lived experiences. We equip individuals through digital and in-person training with the confidence and tools to act. We support companies with comprehensive, end-to-end programmes that drive meaningful change- from internal policies to everyday behaviours. And we activate public spaces through art, events, and storytelling to challenge norms and shift mindsets at scale. We also contribute our expertise to inform policy and systemic change, working with national and local governments to ensure that strategies to prevent harassment are grounded in lived experience and practical insight. By engaging across communities, organizations, public spaces, and policy, and by tapping into social and cultural trends, we extend our impact beyond individual interventions- helping to reshape the systems and norms that allow harassment to persist. Our mission is not only to respond to harassment, but to prevent it. by building cultures where respect is embedded, accountability is expected, and everyone has the power to contribute to safer spaces.

Stichting Fairspace carries the CBF-Erkend Goed Doel label - the Dutch quality seal awarded by the Centraal Bureau Fondsenwerving (CBF). To qualify, a charity passes a three-yearly independent audit covering governance (separation of board, oversight, and management), financial transparency (audited annual accounts, clear expense breakdown), effective use of donations, responsible fundraising practices, and a working complaints procedure. You can read the public 'CBF-paspoort' for Stichting Fairspace here: https://cbf.nl/organisaties/9112. The passport shows the most recent audit outcome and the headline financial ratios.

It limits freedom, silences voices, and shapes how people move through the world every day. We believe it doesn’t have to be this way. At Fairspace, we take a community-first approach to change. We co-create solutions with the people most affected by harassment- listening to lived experiences, understanding local contexts, and building responses that are not only effective, but owned by the communities themselves. This ensures that the change we create is not temporary, but lasting. Our work spans multiple touchpoints to shift both behaviour and culture. We design and deliver 360°, start-to-end programmes for companies - supporting them from awareness and education through to policy, reporting systems, and long-term culture change. We help organizations move beyond performative action to meaningful, measurable impact. We also provide accessible digital and online training that equips individuals with the tools, language, and confidence to recognise, prevent, and respond to harassment in real time. These trainings are designed to be practical, engaging, and rooted in real-world scenarios. Beyond workplaces, we bring conversations into public and cultural spaces. Through pop-up events, interactive activations, and art exhibitions, we create powerful, visible moments that challenge norms, spark dialogue, and invite people to see harassment differently. Art and storytelling are central to how we shift hearts as well as minds. We meet people where they are - online and in culture - by tapping into social media, trends, and digital storytelling to reach wider audiences and influence everyday behaviour. By making the conversation relevant, relatable, and shareable, we help drive awareness at scale. In parallel, we work to influence systemic change by sharing our expertise with policymakers and institutions. We contribute to national and local conversations on safety and harassment prevention, including providing input to government bodies and shaping initiatives such as the National Action Plan in the Netherlands. By bridging on-the-ground insights with policy, we help ensure that legislation and public strategies reflect real needs and drive meaningful impact. Every part of our work is connected. Whether we are collaborating with a community, training a team, activating a public space, shaping policy, or influencing conversations online, our goal is the same: to create environments where people feel safe, respected, and able to fully be themselves.
