This project intends to benefit women and girls living in Ankober Woreda of North Shoa Zone, Amhara region, and Seba Boru Woreda of Oromia Region. The objective of the project is to increase the participation of women and girls and their organizations in the development and democratization process. Specifically, it aims to empower women’s and girls’ voices and to reduce VAWG in the project areas in the two regions. Their consequences include health problems, denying girls’ education opportunities, negative psychological impacts and economic insecurity, thereby disempowering women and girls. WWGs are playing an important role in strengthening and sharpening the role of women in the fight against VAWG and HTPs.
