This includes continuing to strengthen the capacities of institutional actors particularly in terms of positive masculinities and attitudes favorable to combating gender-based discrimination; (2) strengthening civil society in supporting survivors of violence towards their economic empowerment and rehabilitation; and (3) creating a pilot one-stop shop to benefit from existing care infrastructures for survivors and strong commitment from all institutional partners.

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) strengthened women's rights and institutional services for survivors of violence; and (2) increased awareness among women girls men and boys about women's and girls' rights and the services available to women survivors of violence including social norms favorable to gender equality.
