THE TEAM BEHIND THE MISSION

Dedicated advocates, educators, and changemakers united to end female gendercide through awareness, education, and global action.

Our Mission

Gendercide is the result of severe, systemic inequality between the sexes. It’s a social problem we can fix.

143 million women and girls are ‘missing’ from the world’s population -victims of discrimination, oppression, neglect, and violence simply because of their gender.

We raise awareness. We educate girls. We refuse to look away.

Through our traveling art exhibit, we make invisible lives visible. Through our Girls’ Education Program, we fund schooling for girls who would otherwise have no future at all. Two strategies. One mission.

We believe that educating girls is the best long-term strategy for ending gendercide. With education and job skills, girls are transformed from economic burdens to economic assets, and they are better positioned to fight for equal rights.

Our Story

The Gendercide Awareness Project was founded in 2011 by Beverly Hill, sparked by a single staggering fact: 143 million women and girls are missing from the world’s population.

What began as a bold idea — a large-scale traveling art exhibit — grew into a global movement. Baby booties handmade by at-risk women in 30 countries now fill more than 2,000 square feet of floor space, making invisible lives visible to everyone who walks through.

In 2016, we launched our Girls’ Education Program, funding schooling for vulnerable girls across seven countries. Today, former scholarship recipients are doctors, nurses, and community leaders — generational change in motion.

In 2026, we celebrated 15 years of impact: 338 years of education for girls, 3.9 million people educated on gendercide, and a mission that continues to grow.

Our Story

The Gendercide Awareness Project, or “Gendap” for short, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Dallas, Texas. Our goal is to end gendercide by raising awareness and educating at-risk girls. Gendap was founded in 2011 by Beverly Hill to create a traveling art exhibit calling attention to the world’s 143 million “missing” women. We paid poor women a fair wage to make the baby booties for the exhibit, strengthening them economically while showcasing their handiwork. The exhibit premiered in 2017, with press coverage enabling us to educate 3.7 million people.

In 2016 we launched our Girls’ Education Program. Each year we raise and distribute thousands of dollars to educate poor, vulnerable girls via seven carefully vetted education partners in India, Nepal, Cambodia, Uganda (2 partners), Guatemala and Honduras. Without this assistance, these girls would have no chance at an education. We believe that educating at-risk girls is the best long-term strategy to end gendercide. Education allows the girls to rise out of poverty, be self-reliant, and understand their rights.

Note: We believe that the best way to tackle sex-selective abortion (a major cause of gendercide) is to end the widespread preference for sons by educating and economically empowering girls. Outlawing abortion will only cause families to seek back-alley abortions or kill female infants directly after birth, as was done for centuries.

In our ten years of existence, we have worked with a broad array of community organizations. In particular, we collaborate with the World Affairs Council of Dallas-Fort Worth to host film screenings, panel discussions, and lectures.
