GSHRDC is implementing a project titled “Community Based Approach for preventing Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG)” in Ghana. The project, funded by NORAD through Masimanyane Women’s Rights International of South Africa is also being implemented in South Africa, Uganda and Mozambique. The overarching objective is to work towards the elimination of violence against women and girls (VAWG) in the four countries in Africa. The project aims at building the leadership capacity of young women from marginalised communities and those working in civil society so they are able to engage politically with all aspects of violence against women. Ultimately, the project will facilitate the development of young advocates who call for state accountability.
