STRATEGIES TO PREVENTION AND RESPONSE TO GBV

Addressing root causes of GBV is vital for long-term prevention.
We work to change social norms that condone violence and discrimination against women and girls through the following ways:

Ending Child /forced marriages

At Voice of Peace, we work to end child marriage by addressing its root causes and protecting girls through prevention, and encouraging
them to remain at school. We sensitize parents and children about the harmful effects of child marriages; through school visits, we work with religious, community leaders and families as we change mindsets and protect the girls.

Legal and human rights education

We educate communities on law of domestic violence, prohibition of torture, prevention of human trafficking, prohibition of female genital mutilation, marriage law and land law. We also educate communities on human rights, women and children, while enhancing coordination with the law enforcement to report and respond to cases.

Women Economic Empowerment

When women are economically empowered, they will break the dependency syndrome which escalates GBV. women and girls are greats agents of change and development, achieving gender equality involves economic empowerment of women in areas of skills among others.
