​

Villainesse is a digital media project created by and for young women. Founded in 2015, Villainesse provides a platform for young women to publish and read smart, no filter media that is relevant to them.

Started as a labour of love, Villainesse has eventually grown to reach hundreds of thousands of readers, publishing the work of nearly 100 contributors. In 2017, Villainesse won the Best Blog category at the Canon Media Awards, a feat that would not have been possible without the enduring support of our writers and readers. Thank you so much.

We have another favour to ask you.

If you support our mission of empowering young women, and have a bit to spare, we’d humbly invite you to contribute to our PressPatron campaign, either via a monthly contribution or a one-off donation.

By supporting us, you’ll help us to continue to amplify young female voices by assisting us with the costs of running the site. Villainesse is run by a small team of passionate people, and she needs your help to continue her quest of badass do-gooding.
​
Thank you, and welcome to the sisterhood.

What is PressPatron?

Villainesse has partnered with PressPatron, a Kiwi crowdfunding platform that makes it easy to support blogs and journalism websites. Please be aware that PressPatron is at the beta stage of its launch, and their team are continuing to make improvements. Their platform is fully functional, but you might notice some minor bugs. They’d love to hear your feedback, and can be contacted here.

Is my payment secure?

Payments made via PressPatron are securely processed using an SSL connection with 256-bit AES encryption. The underlying payment infrastructure is provided by Stripe, a leader in online payments who provides credit card processing for companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Xero, Kickstarter, and others.

All credit card data is encrypted and Stripe maintains strict administrative, technical, and physical procedures to protect your information. More info about Stripe’s security policies can be viewed here. PressPatron does not collect or store your credit card number within their own database.

How can I manage my payment preferences?

Once you have contributed, you will be given the option of creating a PressPatron account to manage your payment preferences. Your supporter dashboard will provide you an overview of your contributions, as well as an interface for editing your payment details. If you already have an account, you can login here.
