💜Support Gender-Based Violence Prevention and Empower Communities in Tanzania
The experience
Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a serious challenge in Tanzania, affecting women, men, and especially girls. Many survivors suffer in silence due to stigma, fear, and limited access to support. Our initiative creates safe spaces, raises awareness, and promotes education on rights and protection.
Activities include community awareness, survivor support, engaging men and boys, women’s empowerment programs, and school & youth outreach.
