APPROACH​ES

01

— Participatory Learning Approach to Empower Women

Intervention:
– Provide training programs that focus on women’s rights, legal options for seeking justice, and accessing social protection services.
– Train social volunteers and Human Right Defenders (HRD) to identify signs of Gender Based Violence (GBV) or other social issues enabling them to provide sensitive and confidential consultation and refer them to appropriate support services.
– Establish a help desk and reporting mechanism within the cooperative to provide information, support, and access to emergency assistance.
– Organize awareness campaigns to educate communities about GBV, its consequences, and the support services that are available.
– Promote collaboration among government agencies, concerned organizations, and the private sector to have access to support services and advocate for safety of women in the community.

02

— Strengthening Child Club to Empower Children

Intervention:
Teach children about their rights, safety, and how to access social protection services so they can protect themselves, seek help when needed and overcome challenges.
Organize recreational activities and workshops to develop essential life skills such as communication, leadership, and problem-solving which will enable child clubs to advocate for policies and programs that benefit children.
Establish schools and child clubs as safe spaces where children can express themselves and seek help if they are in danger or facing difficulties.
