Our Alliance
is the vehicle for bringing the Bonobo Sisterhood Principle into action.
The Bonobo Principle:
​Nobody harms my sister.
Everybody is my sister.
"We can, should, must and will, defend one another."
DIANE ROSENFELD
Author of The Bonobo Sisterhood
Bonobos, our closest evolutionary cousins, have eliminated male sexual coercion. If a female is aggressed upon, she lets out a special cry and all other females within earshot come immediately to her defense. Women and our allies CAN DO the same, acting on The Bonobo Principle.
The Bonobo Sisterhood Alliance (BSA) envisions a world without intimate partner violence, without gender violence, without the coercive threat of violence against women, where all humans are free to achieve their worth and benefit from a society of collective care.
