Description
The intervention aims to contribute to the elimination of gender based violence (GBV), including harmful practices in the cross-border areas between Senegal and The Gambia. In particular, the two specific objectives aim to (i) ensure an enabling environment for gender equality, human rights promotion and multi-sectoral prevention of gender-based violence in the cross-border areas between Senegal and The Gambia and (ii) strengthen the availability, use and quality of holistic services for victims of gender-based violence in the cross-border areas. The intervention strategy focuses on survivors and women and girls at risk of gender-based violence who, as services users must be treated with dignity, equality and respect and be empowered to make informed decisions; and on the active participation of the community, including men and boy, and all other actors involved in the cycle of prevention, care and reintegration of survivors of gender-based violence (GBV)/Female Genital Mutilation (FGM)/Child Marriage and harmful practices. In order to foster the behavioral change necessary to promote gender equality and the abandonment of harmful practices, the project will promote a multi-sectoral and multi-actor gender transformative approach. The methodology that will be implemented to achieve the objectives includes: a) advocacy and policy dialogue based on reliable statistical data; b) creation, collection and use of reliable statistical data and knowledge sharing;c) capacity-building of service providers; d) support for the provision of quality care services; e) partnership with research institutes, the private sector, local authorities and women's community organisations.
