About
Becky's Button

Becky's Button is a UK-registered charity working in the prevention and early intervention of violence against women and girls. We equip the next generation with the education and tools they need to recognise and challenge it, while providing personal safety tools to organisations that reach women at risk.

Our purpose

Education, empowerment and collaboration.

Our work spans the globe, grounded in the belief that prevention of violence against women and girls should start before harm happens.

Working alongside secondary schools, universities, institutions and grassroots partners, we raise awareness, create space for honest dialogue and build confidence. Personal safety tools provide immediate support, while deeper attitudes and behaviours are challenged.

Founded in memory of Rebecca Dykes, we build programmes with young people, not just for them, ensuring their voices, ideas and leadership help create lasting change.
