Project presentation
After two years of a devastating conflict in Tigray, marked by the widespread use of rape as a weapon of war, thousands of women remain traumatized, isolated, and without resources. To support them in rebuilding their lives, Stand Speak Rise Up, in partnership with Hiwyet Charity Association, is implementing a socio-economic reintegration project combining psychological, legal, and professional support.
Three hundred survivors of sexual violence will receive training in tailoring or sustainable agriculture and be supported in the creation of local cooperatives. The project aims to restore autonomy, dignity, and social inclusion, while promoting environmentally responsible practices and raising community awareness on the fight against gender-based violence.
