PROJECT NEED

In CES, early forced marriage, internal communal conflicts and revenge killings have become common practices. This has left women and girls more vulnerable in all aspects of life e.g violation of women/girls rights, no access of economic activities, low representation of women in political environs, women voices not being heard and no peaceful coexistence among communities. Women/girls are mistreated in all aspects of life, politically, socially, economically culturally and environmentally. This has increased Violence against women and girls, hence undermining their safety, dignity, overall health status and human rights.
