Why we exist
The crisis doesn't end when the emergency does.
Women living with the effects of GBV, HIV and economic injustice carry trauma long after the initial crisis — fracturing mental wellbeing, family stability, livelihoods and identity, and compromising the futures of their children.
Long-term trauma is left unaddressed
Emergency response services exist, yet many women lack trauma-informed pathways to heal and rebuild.
Stigma and harmful norms persist
Weak community support systems deepen isolation, allowing cycles of violence to continue.
Families and children bear the cost
Without support, women's re-entry into family and community life — with confidence and agency — is compromised.
