The Participatory Action for Rural Development Alternatives (PARDA), a non-governmental organisation engaged stakeholders on sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) as part of many activities under the ‘Power to Choose (P2C) Project’.
The dialogue aims to promote stronger stakeholder commitment to protecting and assisting survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV).
It is also to highlight best practices and lessons learned for enhancing the response to SGBV. The meeting brought together GHS, GES, DOVVSU, NCCE, CHRAJ, and traditional, religious, and youth leaders.
Emmanuel Abazaami, the monitoring and evaluation officer of PARDA said, for sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) issues to be properly addressed, it is imperative for community and district-level stakeholders to dialogue to spell out the real issues and possibly identify critical spots for collaboration.
This, he believes will improve stakeholder commitment to protecting people at risk and assisting survivors of sexual and gender-based violence.
“To meet our agenda, we need to involve stakeholders who are into sexual and reproductive health,” he said.
The seven-year project seeks to support individuals whose sexual and reproductive rights are most constrained (young people, especially adolescent girls and young women, unmarried people, and people living with disabilities in and out of school) to exercise and enjoy their sexual and reproductive health and related rights.
