Project Description:
The EmpowerHER Project aims to improve equality, enjoyment of human rights, and
freedom from sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) for women and girls in
Kiribati, Solomon Islands, and Tonga.
This will be achieved by:
1. Strengthening community, civil society, and government capacity to prevent,
respond to, and protect women and girls from SGBV.
2. Improving government accountability and transparency in delivering
gender-responsive public services for SGBV survivors.
3. Enhancing data collection, policy implementation, and resourcing for SGBV
prevention and response services.
?
EmpowerHER will take a locally driven, survivor-centered, and culturally
sensitive approach, working closely with civil society organizations (CSOs),
women’s rights organizations (WROs), community and religious leaders, and
government institutions. The project directly supports the three countries’ key
national action plans (NAPs), policies and legal frameworks to strengthen
implementation, coordination and sustainable resourcing for SGBV, including the
National Approach to Eliminating SGBV in Kiribati (2011-21); Solomon Islands’
National Policy to Eliminate Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) (2021-27)
and Family Protection Act (2014); and Tonga’s National Women’s Empowerment and
Gender Equality (GE) Policy and Strategic Plan of Action (2019-25).
