Halima once stayed silent when girls faced abuse in her community.

Today, she takes action, supporting survivors and guiding them to services after training under #KickStartforEquality.

This is what empowerment looks like.

Silence is not an option. 🗣️

We are working closely with Women’s Self-Help Groups (SHGs) to strengthen the documentation of human rights violations.
By sharing information, we build a collective shield to protect Women and Girls.
