Given the high\nprevalence of violence—evidenced by a semi-structured survey revealing that 52% of respondents witnessed or experienced GBV—this intervention is not just necessary; it is urgent.\nOur aim is to provide comprehensive support and empower marginalized women, particularly those who have faced intersecting forms of discrimination. This project adds significant\nvalue by expanding access to psychosocial support and education for GBV survivors. It specifically targets the following needs: lack access to trauma-informed care for marginalized\nwomen and girls which is essential for their recovery and empowerment, training for essential service providers including police and health professionals to respond effectively to GBV\nand support survivors appropriately, increased education around GBV and its impact, alongside advocacy for survivors' rights and skills training for marginalized women and to advance economic empowerment which will help them escape abusive situations. The project aims to reach 1,120 marginalized women and girls aged 18-59 from diverse\nbackgrounds including survivors of violence, women with disabilities who face additional barriers to support and empowerment, women in low-income groups struggling with economic\ndependency and lack of resources and women human rights defenders who are advocating for change but needing additional support and resources. Additionally, we will engage 800\nsecondary beneficiaries including health professionals, educators, community leaders, men and boys, family members, and police officers, to create a more supportive environment\nfor marginalized women and girls. To tackle specific forms of violence and discrimination, the project will implement GBV capacity-building training for service providers, community\nleaders, and faith-based organizations on prevention, reporting, and referral systems for GBV, offer face-to-face and hotline counseling for marginalized women ensuring timely\nreferrals for additional support, equip community focal points with skills to provide initial support and guidance for survivors, conduct educational awareness sessions on effective\nparenting, GBV prevention and response among other relative areas in various community settings, producing and sharing Information, Education, and Communication (IEC)\nmaterials to raise awareness and promote community engagement in reducing GBV and partnering with local organizations to provide training in marketable skills such as computer\nliteracy, cake decorating, sewing, and blockmaking. The project will be implemented in Canje and New Amsterdam in Region 6 along with services extending to surrounding\ncommunities in West Berbice, Region 5. This area has been identified as having a high demand for GBV support services, particularly following community feedback indicating\nsignificant need. The overall goal of the project is to ensure that women aged 18-59 in Berbice receive comprehensive and enhanced services for GBV and other rights violations\nthrough a robust advocacy, education, and empowerment program by October 2028. The expected results anticipated following project implementation are improved response of essential service providers to survivors of GBV and other individuals at risk of GBV, increased access to trauma-informed counselling, referrals and other psychosocial follow-up services for survivors and individuals at risk of GBV ; enhanced capacity of community focal points to respond to disclosures of GBV violations and offer appropriate options to\nsurvivors ; strengthened advocacy for the promotion of the rights of women and other vulnerable populations; heightened awareness of violations against women and girls and\nstrategies employed to combat all forms of violence and boosted employable and marketable knowledge and skills of women survivors of violence contribute to empowerment and\nadvancement in their daily lives. The total cost of the proposed project is USD 250,001. In conclusion, this intervention is essential not only to expand Help \u0026 Shelter’s services but\nalso to create a foundation for community empowerment, enabling marginalized women to overcome trauma and rebuild their lives. By addressing the systemic barriers they face, we\naim to foster a culture of support and resilience in regions 5 and 6, Berbice.","donor":{"amountUSD":51542,"flowCount":1,"id":"17565","label":"UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women","state":"single"},"firstReportedDate":"2025-04-01","flowId":"343964","flowType":"Standard","onBoundary":"single","plan":{"amountUSD":51542,"flowCount":1,"id":null,"label":"Unspecified","state":"missing"},"recipient":{"amountUSD":51542,"flowCount":1,"id":"10534","label":"Help and Shelter","state":"single"},"refCode":"27_42339","sector":{"amountUSD":51542,"flowCount":1,"id":"18","label":"Protection - Gender-Based Violence","state":"single"},"status":"paid","versionId":1,"year":2026},{"amountUSD":98568,"boundary":"incoming","contributionType":"financial","country":{"amountUSD":98568,"flowCount":1,"id":"96","label":"Guyana","state":"single"},"decisionDate":"2024-11-04","description":"Multi-Sector - GBV Programming\nThe Eight and Nine project is designed to strengthen stakeholders’ response to sexual violence perpetrated against indigenous women and girls in Regions’ 8 and 9 through a multidisciplinary and grassroots approach. At the systems/multi-disciplinary level, the project will establish multi-disciplinary teams (MDT) comprised of State first-responders such as\npolice, health services, and social services officers, and civil society stakeholders such as village council leaders and community-based counsellors. ChildLinK will coordinate the\nestablishment of the MDT to strengthen efforts in responding to gender-based violence (GBV) including intimate partner violence, but particularly sexual abuse, against indigenous\nwomen and girls in six (6) hinterland communities: Paramakatoi, Chenapow, and Kato in Region 8; and Aishalton, Annai, and Karasabai in Region 9. Grassroots response to sexual\nabuse will be strengthened by training 30 women from the six target communities to operate the Child Advocacy Centre (CAC) satellite sites where girls and women who are survivors\nof sexual abuse can receive community-based psychosocial support. Currently these services do not exist in these target communities. ChildLinK established CACs in the city of\nRegions 8 \u0026 9. The satellite sites will advance these services in six remote communities of these two Regions. Additionally, the trained women will also engage in sensitization\nsessions to promote increased reporting and positive social norms to prevent sexual abuse. Women survivors of GBV will be supported to make reports against sex offenders and\nreceive counselling from the CAC satellite sites. Women and girls, whose cases progress to court during the project implementation period, will benefit from court support services.\nChildLinK will also lobby for increased stakeholder commitment from the regional administration for justice for indigenous women and girls who were sexually abused. ChildLinK will\nengage public prosecutions department, public security, and the judiciary to direct additional resources to strengthen prosecution of sexual violence in Regions 8 and 9 to strengthen\nthe response to GBV and sexual abuse in two of Guyana’s hardest to reach Regions. Guyana’s indigenous peoples, the Amerindians, reside in remote communities in hinterland\nregions such as Regions 8 and 9. Generally, Amerindians adhere to many of their ancient traditional, cultural practices, that are not valued or understood by the general Guyanese\npublic. Amerindian values and customs do not align with post-modern norms and values that are shared by the majority of Guyana's population. Consequently, Amerindians are\nstigmatized and viewed as uneducated and gullible. Amerindian women and girls are viewed as ‘exotic’; this makes them targets for sexual abuse within and without their\ncommunities as well as making them vulnerable to sexual exploitation. The vulnerability is compounded by the level of poverty in the target regions and a lack of access to adequate\nsocial welfare services. The high rates of poverty due to limited commercial activities in the Regions and the lack of knowledge of children’s and women’s rights, results in high levels\nof sexual grooming, sexual abuse, statutory rape, and sexual exploitation. The CAC satellite sites will add significant value to the lives of Amerindian women and girls in Regions 8\nand 9. Women and girls will access psychosocial support services, which is not currently accessible in the target communities. Women and girls will also be sensitized on their rights\nin an effort to reduce harmful social norms that contribute to GBV and sexual abuse. MDT members will be trained to strengthen response services from their agencies (police, social\nwelfare, health care, Toshao council, civil society) to women in the target communities. Sensitization sessions will promote gender equality and the importance of education, to\nempower girls to increase their access to education and subsequent economic opportunities – therefore, Eight and Nine project will contribute to the fight against poverty among\nAmerindian women. A baseline survey will be conducted to assess the experiences of Amerindian women and girls in these two regions, their exposure and experiences with GBV,\nsexual violence and other influencing factors that hinders their safety and development. The findings of this study will be used to identify key indicators for change through this project\nand as well as content for a national public education campaign to lobby local authority decision-makers for increased investment in Amerindian women and girls in Regions 8 and 9\nwhile also dispelling stigma against Amerindian women and girls by promoting their rights to equal access to opportunities and highlighting their potential to contribute to Guyana’s\ndevelopment.
