Father figure in the community aims at educating young people by targeting schools and identified hotspots on gender based violence, raise awareness and fight for equality in the community. We aim at grooming young boys to become ambassadors of human rights and gender based violence.
This will be is done through demand creation campaigns, dialogues at schools and at community level, workshops and forums. We also support Survivors of gender-based violence through psychosocial support, HIV services, and referrals to legal and other stakeholders.

The Silent Battle Within: Confronting Domestic Violence Domestic violence, a distressing form of gender-based violence, casts a shadow over countless lives worldwide. It involves acts of physical, sexual, and psychological abuse inflicted upon individuals within intimate relationships. The power imbalances and desire for control that drive domestic violence perpetuate a cycle of fear and suffering. To break this cycle, we must raise awareness, build supportive networks, and implement robust policies. By empowering survivors, fostering a culture of respect, and providing accessible resources, we can create a world where homes are havens of safety, love, and equality.
Empowering Voices: Reshaping the Landscape of Sexual Harassment Sexual harassment, an insidious facet of gender-based violence, silently infiltrates workplaces, schools, and public spaces, leaving victims traumatized and disempowered. It encompasses unwanted advances, explicit comments, and non-consensual actions that create hostile environments for predominantly women. By cultivating a culture of consent, we can challenge these norms. Education, awareness campaigns, and robust reporting mechanisms are vital in ensuring that survivors' voices are heard and that perpetrators face consequences. Through collective efforts, we can transform our communities into spaces where respect, dignity, and equality flourish.
Breaking Chains: Combating Human Trafficking and Exploitation Human trafficking, an abhorrent manifestation of gender-based violence, disproportionately affects women and girls worldwide. They are subjected to forced labor, sexual exploitation, and domestic servitude, enduring unimaginable physical and psychological abuse. Tackling this issue demands comprehensive strategies encompassing law enforcement, prevention initiatives, victim support services, and international cooperation. By addressing the root causes, advocating for policy reforms, and offering comprehensive support to survivors, we can dismantle the chains of human trafficking. Together, we can protect the vulnerable and strive for a world free from this egregious form of gender-based violence.
