About The Project
OUR PURPOSE
We desire that our services (awareness, information and education, counseling as well as appropriate referral) will in turn increase self-confidence and rights awareness, strengthen relationship and defense skills in women and girls. We also link survivors of gender-based violence to services that will ensure their safety, justice and needs met. Our Virtual Safe place will transform attitudes, beliefs and norms that justify violence against women and stigmatize their survivors.
Our vision is a world where women and girls are safe from the threat, harm and limitations of gender-based violence.
Gender Based Violence Support
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call us. In case you are experiencing any form of gender-based violence, you have access that can provide you with support and advice. Our trained First Aid responders will professionally guide you on step next steps after listening to you without judgement.
