1. Make schools safe for girls
Around the world, 246 million girls and boys experience school-related violence every year, but World Education Initiative has established school and community-based empowerment clubs that provide girls with education about HIV prevention, reproductive health, leadership, life skills, and how to report abuse. The clubs enable girls to feel safe in their learning environments and encourage school attendance.
2. Stand against intimate partner violence (IPV)
In Tanzania, intimate partner violence (IPV) affects 44% of married women. The World Education Bantwana Initiative Utu Jinsia programme (“Dignity and Gender” in Swahili) will ensure that survivors of intimate partner violence get the support they need and deserve. The programme aims to decrease the frequency of intimate partner violence, encourage women to take a stand against IPV, and positively shift harmful social norms that perpetrate IPV.
3. Mobilise communities to support victims of Gender Based Violence (GBV)
Survivors of GBV need the support of their communities. In Zimbabwe, World Education’s Bantwana Initiative implemented a case management programme to encourage local point people to refer GBV cases to the appropriate services. More than 17,000 children and 21,237 adults now have about the legal issues surrounding GBV, and more than 900 cases of GBV have been reported.
4. Strengthen legislation and policy to support women and girls
In Swaziland, women under 24 years of age are three times more likely to contract HIV than men. Until recently, there was no formal education for HIV prevention for the world’s highest HIV prevalence population.
The Bantwana Initiative worked with Swaziland’s Ministry of Education and Training and UNICEF to bring HIV prevention education to all secondary school classrooms in the country, and ultimately reach 80,000 young women and girls each year.
5. Provide platforms for women and girls’ voices to be heard
Women and girls must have the ability to speak up about their rights in order to live safe and healthy lives. However, many girls do not feel comfortable expressing their concerns within their communities.
In Cambodia, World Education is empowering girls through education and leadership opportunities to advocate for their rights and address issues facing their communities.
6. Help girls improve their self-esteem
A girl who survives violence is at risk of diminished self-esteem, which can have serious consequences on her well-being. Bantwana Initiative partner, Girls Legacy, introduced Zvipo, a cartoon adolescent girl who speaks with other girls about sensitive topics in a series of videos broadcasted on TV, online, and through WhatsApp.
7. Reduce the vulnerability of adolescent girls and young women to HIV
Though there has been progress in global HIV response, as many as 7,000 new infections among females ages 15-24 occur each week in Eastern and Southern Africa.
In Mozambique, the DREAMS programme works to reduce incidence among adolescent girls and young women by 40% in Mozambique. The initiative also improves access to health services and increases community mobilisation to prevent HIV among adolescent girls and young women.
8. Link survivors of physical and sexual abuse to health services
In Zimbabwe, 27% of women and girls have been forced into sexual intercourse, yet only one in four of those women and girls will seek the care and support they need. Reasons that women do not seek help include a lack of awareness of available services and stigma surrounding sexual violence.
Bantwana Initiative’s innovative “Stop the Bus Campaign” provides on-the-spot links to medical, legal, and counseling services for sexual abuse survivors. “Stop the Bus” has helped more than 5,960 women and girls gain access to services.
9. Give adolescent wives and young mothers alternative education platforms
In Swaziland, 22% of girls give birth before the age of 18, and 29% self-report dropping out of school because of pregnancy. Only 13% of young people will complete secondary school, and only 47% of girls even make it to upper secondary school. There are almost no educational opportunities for girls who are young mothers and wives.
The Bantwana Initiative implements accelerated ‘catch up’ classes for at-risk young women who have fallen out of the formal education system to ensure they continue learning and encourage them to re-matriculate.
10. Empower women with economic resources and education
Women and girls who have access to education and possess the skills to be economically independent are empowered to live healthy, productive lives.
