  "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 & 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. The project financing will cost costs for training, equipment, baseline survey, staff and overhead costs, capacity strengthening, auditing and monitoring and evaluation to\nthe value of US$397 385",
