Empowering Communities: GBV Prevention and Response Support in Guyana’s Indigenous Communities

About this project

This project aims to address the high rate of intimate partner violence in Guyana and promotes youth empowerment. Project activities include: (1) providing education and capacity strengthening sessions for community members on issues regarding gender-based violence; (2) conducting training sessions for Indigenous women focused on entrepreneurship and climate-smart agriculture; (3) engaging community members to create culturally relevant and gender-sensitive educational radio content segments on gender-based violence; and (4) delivering comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services to survivors of gender-based violence. The project will benefit Indigenous communities in Regions 1 and 9 of Guyana and is implemented by the Guyana Responsible Parenthood Association.
