Women & Girls Empowerment.
(Dignity, Action, Rights,Empowerment - DARE)
"Women empowerment is not a position or possession. It is about creating an image of dignity, self-respect and values for women."
Geeta Malhotra
The full potential of women across the globe has not been fully realized. Gender inequality remain highest in Africa and the global East. This is attributed to persistent social, economic and political inequalities.
Gender inequalities are still deep-rooted in every society and harmful practices such as FGM, child marriage and other forms of harmful practices continue to derail the quest to achieve gender equality in line with SDG5 target of 2030. We seek to protect women's DIGNITY by taking ACTION,standing up for their RIGHTS and EMPOWERING them.
We aim to:
Raise Awareness:
We educate women and girls on the effects of harmful practices, human rights and the law through dialogues and sensitizations.
Build the agency of girls:
Through our mentorship sessions and training, we engage girls to take charge of their destiny by making decisions about themselves and enjoy their right to bodily autonomy
Offer mental and psycho-social support
We support survivors of FGM by offering a platform to reflect on their past, confront their fears and take action to protect their daughters from having the same experience they have. We refer survivors in need of medical support to service providers.
