The Women’The women Rights Program is designed to empower poor and marginalized women in Egypt who suffer from rights’ violation. Its impact goal is: By 2025, poor women in Egypt especially in Upper Egypt are empowered and enjoying a better quality of life, having attained their rights. In order to achieve this goal, the program works with both the duty bearers in government and civil society, as well as rights bearers, women themselves, to address discriminatory attitudes and behavior towards women and girls.
One of the main issues women face as gender-based violence is domestic violence, however, harmful practices still widely prevail within the society’s traditions. Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and early marriage practices/crimes.
CARE Egypt has been selected by UNFPA to implement a project addressing Gender Based Violence against women in Upper Egypt. This project works towards ending FGM and early marriage, and supporting survivors who experienced any types of violence, exploitation, or abuse in the areas of Assiut, Sohag, Menya and Beni Suef.
The project will contribute to the long-term impact of ”women and girls in target communities fully enjoy their lives free of the risk of FGM and early marriage’’. It seeks to address the root causes of FGM and early marriage, develop a set of interventions targeting various stakeholders. These interventions aim to raise community awareness on reproductive health and girls’ education, actively engage men and boys in the discussion against early marriage, equip a cadre of local volunteers with the knowledge and skills needed to actively participate in the efforts to reduce the prevalence of harm practices and finally, networking all efforts in organized advocacy campaigns capable to achieve more gains that give women and girls a safe environment free from harmful practices in the targeted governorates.
Upon the partnership between CARE Egypt, UNFPA and Y-PEER Egypt to empower young people’s agency to make informed decisions regarding their Sexual and Reproductive health and Family Planning also promoting healthy lifestyle through peer-to-peer approach.
The activities for SRHR education, and Family planning through comprehensive information, among young people as stipulated in the project are to be held through Y-PEER Egypt members in collaboration with CARE Egypt and supported by UNFPA Egypt.
