Gender Equality & Protection

We partner with communities to prevent gender-based violence and expand safe access to leadership, justice, and opportunity.

Why It Matters

Inequality and gender-based violence limit health, safety, and economic opportunity for millions. Community-led protection systems create safer futures for women, girls, and families.

Our Approach

  • Support survivor-centered case management and referrals.
  • Train community leaders on safeguarding and prevention.
  • Engage men and boys as allies for equitable social norms.

Key Activities

  • Protection desks and referral partnerships
  • Legal literacy and rights awareness sessions
  • Safe-space programming for adolescent girls
  • Leadership training for women-led community groups

Expected Impact

Reduced protection incidents and stronger survivor support pathways
Higher participation of women in local decision-making
Sustained community awareness on rights and prevention
