selection unacceptable.
A WORLD WHERE DAUGHTERS THRIVE.
Across Haryana and beyond, Breakthrough
enables youth, families, and communities
to say no to the practice of gender-biased
sex selection and build a society that
values girls. We also spotlight and reframe
the issue in key international fora such as
the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee,
calling for solutions that protect and
promote women’s rights.
In Haryana there are 879 women for every
1,000 men. This imbalance – among the
lowest sex ratios in India – is driven by
a preference for sons and aversion to
daughters, assisted in recent times by
advances in medical technology that enable
gender-biased sex selection (GBSS). GBSS
is perhaps the starkest representation of
the low value and status of girls. As one
healthcare worker in Haryana observed to
our researchers: “We see people opting for
sons all around us. There are no girls left.”
“When we make daughters
welcome in households,
neighborhoods, and
nations, we are all able
to thrive.” – Mallika Dutt
We are building a diverse network of
leaders like Reena to demand accountability
for those who break the law, support women
to make their own decisions, promote
the rights and value of daughters – and

that drives Haryana’s low sex ratio – and
what she could do about it. She became an

We are making discrimination
against immigrant women
unacceptable.
DIGNITY AND EQUALITY FOR ALL.
Launched at a pivotal moment in the U.S.,
Breakthrough’s ambitious, audacious
“Deport the Statue” campaign mobilized
new audiences to call for fair and humane
immigration reform that promotes the
rights of immigrant women. It represented
Breakthrough’s ongoing contribution to
profound shifts in attitudes and actions
in support of the human rights of all who
live here.
Women now make up more than half of all
immigrants, up from 38% in 2000. Immigrant
women are job creators and community
leaders. They enrich America’s economy
and culture. Yet the unique voices and
struggles of immigrant women often remain
hidden from public conversation and absent
from policy discussion. Moreover, cruel
anti-immigrant laws, policies, and practices
have subjected immigrant women in
particular to violence and discrimination.
For more than a decade, Breakthrough
has brought mainstream attention
and action to the rights of immigrants
(especially women, LGBT, and other extramarginalized groups) using innovative,
provocative, headline-grabbing multimedia
tools. These include online games, minidocumentaries, emotional short films, pop
music partnerships, social media strategies,
transmedia experiences, and more.

“The combination of
assets that Breakthrough
brought to the table
– a deep understanding
of human rights and
their intersectionality,
a commitment to the
rights and dignity of
every immigrant, an
understanding of arts
and culture as a medium
for social change, and
[being] innovative,
nimble, connected, and
communicative, allowed
it to have an outsized
influence. It led the way
on use of social media,
video gaming as a tool
for change, and raising
detention and deportation
as a human rights
issue.” – external review
of Breakthrough’s 13-year
immigrant rights program
In 2013 – as immigration reform came
up for Congressional debate – we used
satire to change the debate. A fictional
anti-immigrant campaign to deport the
Statue of Liberty, complete with an intricate
online universe and an edgy video that
went swiftly viral – drew mainstream U.S.
and international media attention to the
struggles of immigrant women, making the
issue real, relevant, and important to new
supporters.
• 6,600,000+ million reached via 103 articles
and television segments, including CNN,
BBC, UPI, MSN, Univision, and Telemundo,
plus other outlets that do not normally
cover immigration
• 114,000+ video views on YouTube,
Upworthy, Funny or Die, and others
• 12,500,000+ reached on Twitter.
Although immigration reform did not
succeed in 2013, that year saw a clear rise
in the visibility of immigrant women and
mainstream support for their rights.
An external review of 13 years of work
in the U.S. confirms that our role in such
change is significant and long-standing –
and poised to continue.

accountability, and action.
