Situation

Decades of civil war in DRC has deeply affected every day life, and violence against women and girls has become ingrained in local culture. In eastern Congo, women are vulnerable to rape and sexual assault both as a weapon of war and from partners and family members. 65% of Congolese women will experience domestic violence. Our project aims to educate local communities on the dangers and harm of violence against women and girls (VAWG) so that women become more equal and secure in their villages.

Solution

We will screen a new lesson, 'Protecting Women and Girls' to communities in a language they can understand. This lesson will teach all members of the community about women's rights, the importance of girls' education, the dangers of child marriage, how to control aggression, and dispel harmful myths that encourage violence. This DVD, alongside the provision of materials such as condoms and baby blankets, aims to reduce gender based violence in the region, and encourage positive behaviour change.
