1 A new breed of nonprofit - embracing 21st century tools to create global social change. www.breakthrough.tv

2 An innovative, high impact international human rights organization using the power of popular culture, media and education to transform public attitudes and advance equality, justice and dignity around the world. WELCOME TO BREAKTHROUGH

3 WHY SHOULD WE BREAKTHROUGH? 50 million women are missing in India either through sex selective abortions, female infanticide or female abuse. Over 2 million legal and undocumented immigrants have been deported from America with no due process. Lack of knowledge about HIV transmission leads to 5 million new cases of AIDS around the world each year. And the list goes on…

4 HOW WE BREAKTHROUGH… Television, Music & Film We use multiple mediums and award-winning campaigns to gain the attention of mass audiences around the world. Reaching the 50 million young we users in the U.S. alone, we tell stories through digital media to educate youth in their language. We connect day-to-day with women, men and youth to provide hands-on training and build human rights leaders. Grassroots Training & Public Forum New Media, Social Networking & Gaming

Mann ke Manjeeré, our hit album, showed 70 million people globally the need to support women facing abuse in their homes.

8 MY BREAKTHROUGHS “Since the Breakthrough training, I am more empowered as a woman. I try to imbue other women with similar strength and courage. I tell them - you are not weak, be strong, and become like me.” - Sita Yadav; Varanasi Network of HIV Positive People

9 MY BREAKTHROUGHS “I thought ICED was incredibly cool. It brings up issues I hadn’t thought of… the futility of being an immigrant actually comes through quite clearly… I kind of wanted to fight back at every opportunity… but I couldn’t because I felt strung by my immigrant status.” - Yael Gottlieb
