Mel ThomasFounder KYUP! Project

Australia's premier violence prevention & empowerment program for teens.

KYUP! Project is a groundbreaking, evidence-based initiative that confronts the alarming rates of violence against women and children in Australia. Shockingly, intimate partner violence is the leading cause of preventable death for girls aged 15 to women aged 44. To combat this issue, our programs and workshops focus on building self-worth and self-defense skills. So far, we have empowered over 10,000 young individuals throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Vital partnerships with key organisations such as the NSW State Government, PCYC, and NSW Police allow us to leverage expertise and resources to tackle violence head-on. Working hand in hand with experts in policing, education, martial arts, and psychology, we provide comprehensive and effective programs for schools, universities, corporates and crisis centers.

KYUP! Project empowers Australians to raise their standards and advocate for their safety and well-being through the principles of self-worth and the basics of self-defense.

“I’ve never had a voice before. “

“You have helped me, thank you.”
