Act2PRESERVE
Framework
In spite of the significant global advocacy and awareness drive, Violence Against Women & Girls remains the most widespread and pervasive human rights violation worldwide affecting more than an estimated 1 in 3 women (a figure that has remained largely unchanged over the last decade).
The urgency for action to end Gender-based Violence as we approach the last 7 years of the UNiTE by 2030 Initiative and the UN Decade of Action, has inspired the OrangeALOUD! Abuja Project backed by the 2RUHOPE Development Initiative in order to mobilize collective action, lead the charge on local and community-driven conversations among generations, and activate responsive solutions for critical ground-breaking results, to deliver a safe and violence-free society for women and girls.
The OrangeALOUD! Project seeks to:
F
F-acilitate capacity building in public leadership spaces and adopt ‘Loudvocates Against Violence’ to eliminate violence against women in parliament.
E
E-ngage Civil Society Organizations to deepen awareness, and stay updated on relevant approaches for community-based action to prevent and respond effectively.
M
M-obilize multi-stakeholder partnerships to drive policy development and policy action to prevent Violence Against Women and Girls.
A
A-ctivate the strengthening of protection and support mechanisms to prevent and eliminate violence, harassment, threats, intimidation and discrimination against women, human rights defenders and women's rights advocates/activists in line with international standards.
L
