The Women’s Rights and Access to Justice Program is dedicated to improving women’s socio-economic status, offering legal support, ensuring protection from all forms of abuse and exploitation, and enhancing women’s roles in decision-making processes. Recognizing that holding women back hinders global progress, the program specifically aids vulnerable groups such as abuse and conflict survivors, genocide survivors, children born from rape, and domestic violence victims.

The program tackles various forms of gender-based violence (GBV), including conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence, domestic violence, and intimate partner violence, by providing legal support and GBV awareness initiatives, and assisting partners in integrating gender equity and social inclusion within their activities.

To address economic disparities, the program focuses on ensuring women’s equal rights to housing, land, property, labor market access, financial services, and social protection. By forming Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA), providing financial literacy training, seed funds, and advocating for grant funding, the program supports widows, survivors, and other vulnerable groups.
