Women and Adolescent Girls’ Empowerment

Strengthening Confidence and Agency

Working with women and adolescent girls, including women with disabilities, to build self-confidence, critical thinking, and decision-making abilities. The focus is on enabling them to recognise their rights, articulate their needs, and actively participate in household, community, and public life with autonomy and dignity.

Creating Safe Spaces for Learning and Leadership

Facilitating inclusive group spaces where women and girls—including women with disabilities and elected women representatives—can share experiences, access information, build solidarity, and develop leadership skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Preventing Discrimination and Violence

Addressing social norms that perpetuate gender-based discrimination and violence through community dialogues, awareness programmes, and sustained engagement with families, local leaders, and institutions.

Improving Access to Social Security and Entitlements

Supporting women, including women with disabilities and women-headed households, to access government schemes, identity documentation, health services, pensions, social protection, and livelihood entitlements.

Enabling Women as Change Leaders

Encouraging women, including elected women representatives, to take on leadership roles, engage effectively with local governance structures, and act as agents of social and economic change through capacity building and mentoring.
