The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women presents a task for every individual and institution to reflect on the anguish women and girls go through on daily basis and to identify the individual and/or institutional efforts made in eliminating violence against women.
Undeniably, we have done poorly over the years. 1 in 3 women still experiences violence in their lifetime (WHO). This issue is not only devastating for survivors of violence and their families but also entails significant social and economic costs (World Bank).
A course worth emulating is the I-Matter project; an intervention implemented by Savana Signatures with support from Grand Challenges Canada, which aimed at reducing Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) among women and adolescent girls in the Nkwanta North and Krachie East districts in the Oti Region of Ghana.
