The project will engage with identified female survivors, both children and women of Gender Based Violence (GBV) and those who are at risk of GBV and provide them needs based support (Livelihood, education, build awareness on their rights and entitlements, etc.) leading to their socio-economic empowerment. The intervention will adopt a mix of service delivery and rights based approach to enable women/girls to assess their situation and understand the root cause for the unequal power relations resulting in gender-based suffering. The project will assist them to take appropriate measures using a gender sensitive approach to alleviate their sufferings by improving their socio-economic status. The project will create champions from among religious leaders, youths, children from both sexes to spread message for safeguarding rights bestowed upon women/girls by the constitution and religious texts and work toward reducing unequal power relations between men and women. The project will support female survivors of GBV and those at risk by supporting them with resilient on farm and off farm livelihood options and other support linked to education, health, psychosocial counselling etc., make them aware of their rights and entitlements, organise community awareness programmes and facilitate the strengthening of the existing systems to enable duty bearers to effectively reach out to the victims of GBV.
