Bond Street Theatre initiates theatre-based projects for conflict resolution,  
​education and empowerment i
n critical areas worldwide.
​Please DONATE here to support our work for social justice!

Malaysia

Picture
In August 2017, Bond Street Theatre initiated an ongoing project in Malaysia working with  refugee and migrant populations. Malaysia is not a signatory of the UN Convention on Refugees, leaving the country's refugees extremely vulnerable. Partnering with Asylum Access Malaysia, the Rohingya Women's Development Network, and Masakini Theatre, BST developed theatre-based tools to share accurate rights-based information with refugee groups in the Kuala Lumpur area. The project has resulted in the creation of two new theatre troupes. We are grateful to Rational Games Inc. for making this project possible.

Afghanistan

Picture
Bond Street Theatre has launched a multiyear program to inform citizens about their legal rights and protections through theatre performances in schools, markets and locations where people congregate. Currently, much of the country relies on traditional councils for dispute resolution, with outcomes that can be arbitrary or overly harsh. The program, supported by the US Institute of Peace, promotes fair and equal access to justice. The project builds on our recent community improvement program, which engaged 400+ youth in 25 provinces in creative, constructive activities that counter violence among youth and improve their communities. 

South Africa

Picture
At Bond Street Theatre, we are deeply committed to ending violence against women and girls around the globe! Thanks to our supporters and friends, we have responded to these issues in India, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Azerbaijan, Haiti, and Malaysia.
Coming up in 2021 is 
South Africa, a country that urgently needs our attention! We know that we along with our partners, Rape Crisis Cape Town Trust and Khayelitsha Art School, we can make an impact on youth who will lead the fight for justice in Khayelitsha and Athlone townships.  Please help us make this underfunded project a reality: donate today!
