Survivors on Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) for Speak Out Project

The four-year project aimed to address Sexual Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) and Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Rwanda. Funded by UK Aid Direct through DFID and implemented by ActionAid Rwanda in partnership with the Faith Victory Association, the initiative spanned four districts across nine sectors: Karongi (Murundi and Gitesi), Nyanza (Mukingo, Busasamana, and Rwabicuma), Gisagara (Muganza, Kibirizi, and Gishubi), and Nyaruguru (Ruheru).

To achieve its objectives, FAVA engaged RCID to specifically support survivors of violence, focusing on teenage pregnancies and young women aged 18-25 with skills in Empowering Girls for Better Health and Bright Future, Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and GBV. These skills significantly increased the willingness and confidence of beneficiaries to report and respond to violence. Additionally, these efforts aimed to shift social attitudes and influence duty bearers to enact meaningful policy and practice changes in the prevention and response to violence against women and girls (VAWG).
