Emergency Shelter and Safe Spaces:
Providing immediate and safe shelter is crucial for GBV victims fleeing abusive situations. These shelters should offer confidentiality, security measures, basic amenities, and be accessible for victims and their children. Safe spaces extend beyond physical locations to include virtual or remote options to ensure accessibility.
Usizo Community Development Projects can offer vocational training and skills development programs tailored to the needs of women and youth in informal settlements. Equipping them with marketable skills enhances their employability and economic prospects.
Encouraging entrepreneurship through training, mentorship, and access to microfinance can create alternative livelihoods and reduce dependency on formal employment. This approach promotes economic resilience and empowers individuals to pursue their own economic paths.
