This project proposal focuses on girls and women empowerment in the Amathole District of the Eastern Cape.
The rationale behind our Empower Women-End Poverty project is to create employment for women in rural areas. Since then we have expanded it to add support groups for women and girls by offering them the opportunity to discuss social ills that impinge on them directly. They are empowered, equipped and envisioned for a positive, healthy life reducing their vulnerability to rape, gender violence and unplanned pregnancy.
Our support groups focus on challenges faced by the girls/women on a daily basis. Beneficiaries regard support groups as safe spaces where they can discuss issues and challenges affecting their daily existence and that of their communities, and many of them report that this is the first time they have shared their problems with anyone. If the beneficiary is willing, we will link her with the relevant service provider in our existing network.
We have to acknowledge their readiness to seek help, and only suggest provision when they are ready to do so. Discussion topics are generated by groups and include the following: reproductive health, gender-based violence, emotional and financial abuse, lack of support system, issues of rejection, societal expectations influenced by patriarchy that continue to suppress women on a daily basis, literacy and lack of knowledge, teenage pregnancies, domestic violence and bullying.
We would greatly appreciate your support and generosity.
Thanking you in advance.
