Tabitha Mpamira is the founder of Mutera Global Healing, which focuses on combatting childhood sexual violence through prevention, healing, and justice.
She works with girls and women who are survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse. Tabitha is Rwandan, grew up in Uganda as a refugee, and currently lives in Michigan.
Having experienced complex trauma herself, she was moved to act on behalf of the victims by providing FREE medical, legal, and mental health support. In addition, doing outreach, and advocating to end gender-based violence because she strongly believes: “Enough is Enough.”
Global Citizen has recognized her work, where she won the People's Choice Award in 2018. She has been invited to speak in multiple spaces, most notably, the Vatican, TEDx Oakland, and the UN Youth Assembly.
Tabitha has also practiced as a mental health therapist for the last 10 years, including her work with women survivors of rape during the Rwandan genocide.
She is a survivor of sexual violence in childhood herself and is highly trained in intergenerational trauma work, women's issues, and diversity.
"Being a part of the Brave Movement is a chance to have a community that understands exactly what I went through. To be with people who share my passion for ending sexual violence and commitment to do everything in our power to ensure that it ends with us. My hope is that we all run out of a job and a cause, that will be the ideal outcome. Hopefully we get to a point where this topic is irrelevant because finally everyone understands the impact, where there is justice and accountability for offenders and the norm is believing the survivors as well as providing healing resources for them."
