MSRI’s Women and Girls Protection Project (WAGAR) aims to provide refugee women and girls the opportunity and space to safely share their experiences, including concerns about their mental health, Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and personal and social problems. WAGAR case coordinators provide case-specific support, including professional counselling and mental health support, group support sessions, emergency funding, referrals to relevant partners, and more.
WAGAR runs training sessions on topics of GBV, human rights, women empowerment, community engagement, livelihood, health, hygiene, language, networking, and personal advocacy. Male allies may participate in capacity-building sessions to better prepare themselves to be advocates of community-based protection for women and girls, particularly to protect women and girls against exploitation.
Violence against women and girls (VAWG) impacts individuals, communities, and societies around the world.To prevent men's violence against women and girls, we need to identify cultural messages and understand their impact on men’s behavior, and take a systematic approach to get men more involved in preventing violence against women and girls.
EMAP is an intervention prevention program created by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and guided by the voices of women. EMAP provides staff in humanitarian settings with an evidence-based curriculum and field-tested approach for engaging men in transformative behavioural changes. The program is not intended to be a stand-alone intervention; rather, it includes organisational efforts to address violence against women and girls. Program Facilitators are selected from refugee communities and are trained and supported to conduct facilitation with their own communities.
We are currently seeking addtiotional funding for the programme. If you are interested in making donation to support EMAP, please donate through pressing the button Support EMAP Project below.
