A woman’s ability to make choices matters in the fight against gender-based violence.
At the WAVES Phase II CSO Coalition Advocacy and Message Development Workshop in Kano, Aisha Isa, a CSO partner highlights why women’s empowerment is essential to preventing GBV.
When women have access to economic opportunities, resources and support, they have greater agency to make decisions about their lives and are less likely to be trapped by financial pressures that can make leaving abusive situations difficult.
With support from the Embassy of France in Nigeria (@franceinnigeria), 17 civil society organisations are working together to strengthen advocacy for women’s economic empowerment and GBV prevention in Kano.
For Bridge Connect, empowerment is about having choices, exercising rights and being able to live free from violence.
