CARE proposes a 2-year project to create an enabling environment to change harmful gender norms thereby reducing SGBV and increasing child protection with interventions targeted at the individual, family, community and societal level. SGBV forms targeted include intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual violence, FGM, CEFM, and child sexual abuse and exploitation. Activities will follow CARE’s COVID-19 Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and will take place in person, if possible, strictly adhering to safety guidelines, or will shift to virtual and alternative implementation methodologies. CARE’s SOPs also ensure our programs uphold Sphere Protection Principles and Standards. A 2-year period is necessary to fully complete certain project components (i.e., livelihoods), further consult participants, and to build local authority capacities to take over the running of Women-Friendly Spaces.

Objective of the Assignment:

The consultant will train 40 volunteers on psychodrama to implement the training for women to explore topics around SGBV in Cairo and Alexandria. This innovative method combines art, music and drama to guide participants through phases of self-expression and inner reflection that works towards changing perspectives, managing behaviors and feelings, improving self-esteem and confidence, and ultimately leading to healing from their experiences. The technique has been used in previous CARE projects in Egypt with outstanding results, prompting participants to tackle sensitive and taboo topics, delving into the roots of problems, identifying violent situations they have been involved in, and dealing with emotions indirectly linked with their perspectives on violence.

The sessions should also cover types of SGBV, trauma and PTSD, resiliency, a sense of isolation, emotional awareness, as well as managing emotions, anger, and memories. When addressing SGBV and child protection issues, there is a need for building long-term relations with the community. Through these sessions women will know and understand SGBV, child protection causes and effects, and will be aware of available services. After every session, pre- and post- evaluation surveys will be conducted in order to evaluate whether attendees have gained the desired knowledge.

The therapy group should be much like a family in which members gain a sense of belonging and acceptance, they share feelings and experiences which help them relieve pain, guilt and stress. Members should be able to share their strengths and help others in the group, which can boost self-esteem and confidence. By interacting with other people and receiving feedback from the group and the therapist, each individual can gain a greater understanding of himself or herself, explore how childhood experiences contributed to personality and behaviors. They can also learn to avoid behaviors that are destructive or unhelpful for them. Studies have shown that group therapy can be an effective treatment choice for depression and traumatic stress.

Refugees traumatized by SGBV often have trouble making decisions and rebuilding their lives, so these sessions have trauma recovery as their main objective.
