Hashtag Generation

When enough people start to care, it becomes a movement

And when the movement becomes big enough, it's the
beginning of a revolution!

#Promoting Civic Consciousness

We strive for a civically aware and responsible society where citizens are active participants in the making of the decisions that affect them.

#Advocating For An Inclusive Society

We stand for a society that is open and inclusive to all irrespective of divisions such as age, class, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexuality or disability.

#Driving Accountability

We strive to ensure that communities have the skills, information and tools to hold their decision-makers to account.

Prathya

“Prathya” is an ecosystem of trilingual support especially for women, girls, and the LGBTQI+ community affected by online gender-based violence (OGBV). This ecosystem results from the work Hashtag Generation has been doing on this issue of OGBV over the last few years. “Prathya” ecosystem comprises a trilingual hotline service by Hashtag Generation that operates on weekdays between 8 am and 5 pm, providing free technological assistance, psychosocial support/referrals, and legal support/referrals. The project aims to bridge gaps in the existing mainstream support services available for persons affected by OGBV, and also to create awareness of the issue, and engage in evidence-based discussion with policymakers and relevant stakeholders.

Persons affected by OGBV can also complete the trilingual survey tool by Delete Nothing, which allows a centralized evidence base on OGBV in Sri Lanka.
