Despite the policies put in place by the governments to fight domestic violence, the rate keeps increasing in different levels and households. Domestic violence also known as an intimate partner abuse, is when one person in an intimate relationship uses any means to control the other person. It may take many forms, including emotional, psychological, physical, sexual, or economic abuse. Risk factors for domestic violence include drug and alcohol abuse, unemployment, and having a relationship with the victim. Part of treating domestic violence involves keeping the victim safe and developing a safety plan for home and the workplace.
The Prevalence Data on Different Forms of Violence against Women is still high with, Lifetime Physical and/or Sexual Intimate Partner Violence at 50 %, Physical and/or Sexual Intimate Partner Violence in the last 12 months 30 %, Child Marriage 40 %
As a team of 3 ladies, we have joined efforts together to make sure that we help reduce domestic violence in our communities. We seek to empower women and girls through economic literacy, community training, and education about healthy relationships. Our aim is to end violence against women by advocating for policies focused on violence prevention and reproductive rights, developing better initiatives along similar lines, and inspiring “the next generation of leaders” by recognizing and celebrating women’s achievements.
The funds raised from this campaign will be used to empower women and young girls entrepreneurial skills and much more.
