This program aims to reduce violence against women and girls, and the prevalence of child, early and forced marriage (CEFM) through coordinated prevention and response activities in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, and Philippines. Project activities include: 1) creating an enabling environment to prevent violence against women and girls by engaging key community leaders (including religious, private sector and political) and youth in advancing women’s leadership and women’s rights; 2) improving access to economic opportunities and to services such as shelters, and legal and psycho-social support; 3) reinforcing the use of innovative knowledge, including best and emerging practices, and accountability systems to end violence against women and girls, and CEFM. This project reaches 245,000 direct and 980,000 indirect beneficiaries (mainly women and girls).
