  "description": "Multi-Sector - GBV Programming\nThis project will be implemented in four selected districts in Zimbabwe namely, Mbire, Marange, Gokwe, and Beitbridge over 4 years . The overall goal of the project is “Marginalised\nwomen and girl survivors of intersectional violence in 4 districts of Zimbabwe enjoy protection of GBV laws and policies by October 2028.” The project seeks to address the remaining\nand perennial gaps in eliminating VAWG as well as complement and scale up efforts by the government, GBV stakeholders and institutions. These gaps include insufficient\nimplementation of the Domestic Violence Act Chapter 5:16 due to lack of accountability mechanisms, financial resources , unavailability of police posts and health centres . In rural\nareas such as Mbire police stations are situated 20 km away from communities making police services unavailable to survivors of GBV Zimbabwe is currently gripling under the\neffects of the 2023/24 El Nino induced drought which has resulted in crop failure, depletion of water sources, food insecurity and heightened poverty. As a result, women and girls’\nexposure to sexual exploitation, GBV, intimate partner violence and child marriages has escalated. Women and girls are disproportionately affected by the protection consequences of\nclimate change and economic hardship. In the targeted geographical areas of Mbire, Gokwe and Beitbridge, women and girls are forced to walk long distances to collect water, facing\nan increased risk of sexual violence. WLSA is currently implementing a project on ending child marriages in Chipinge, Mutasa and Mutare rural areas supported by Christian Aid . Our\nlearning from this project has shown that there are increased cases of child marriages, and GBV which were exacerbated by the El Nino . There are high rates of SGBV with one in\nthree women being affected. Harmful Practice, religious beliefs and patriarchy result in increased child marriages and GBV due to the religious doctrine of child marriages and position\nof women and girls in white garment churches dominant in the areas. The specific groups targeted include Adolescent girls (9- 18 years), young women (18-35 years), women and\ngirls with disabilities, Women / girl survivors of violence, Women/girls from minority ethnic, apostolic sects, Women and girls in the lowest income groups who are, marginalized and\ndisadvantaged who live in rural, peri urban, mining and drought prone areas. These women and girls have been left out of development issues, and are socially, politically and\nculturally marginalized. The women and girls across the four chosen districts, are at high risk of experiencing violence or are already affected by it. By focusing on marginalized\ncommunities, the project seeks to empower women and girls through awareness programs, capacity building, and direct legal aid support services. Additionally, community leaders,\ntraditional leaders, youth , and men in the community will be engaged to foster a collective understanding of gender justice and equality, encouraging local community actions and\nmale voices in advocacy efforts to prevent VAWG. Implementation of this project will adopt the following strategies- a) Service delivery to women and girls who are survivors of\nviolence b) Coordination with local government , police , local leadership and other key stakeholders to enhance existing protection frameworks against GBV. c) Advocacy and policy\nchange dialogues and debates . d) Community engagement , awareness and empowerment on GBV , available services and legal recourse. e) Capacity building of dutybearers. This\nproject seeks to develop a robust training program for law enforcement agencies, government and community leaders on their respective constitutional obligations and duties to\nVAWG. Through this training, WLSA aims to build collective and shared responsibilities , challenge the culture of silence , and the understanding of respective functionaries in curbing\nVAWG . The project will allocate resources specifically for advocacy campaigns to raise awareness about available services and support mechanisms for survivors, thereby promoting\na culture of reporting and seeking help. The expected outcomes of this project are, we anticipate a significant reduction in the incidences of VAWG, SGBV, and child marriages within\nthe targeted districts, because of improved community awareness and engagement. Increased reporting of violence, coupled with better response mechanisms from local authorities,\nwill empower women and girls to seek justice and support, fostering a more inclusive environment. There will be strengthened partnerships between the women’s organizations ,\ncommunity institutions and government contributing to pronounced alignment of resources and interventions . By equipping local institutions with the knowledge and tools necessary,\na resilient framework that transcends the current funding limitations will be established. The activities planned under this project will cost $523,430.",
