Women Empowerment Program (WEP)

Women Empowerment Program

Objective

Through the Women Empowerment Program (WEP), women and girls are empowered to enhance their leadership skills, actively participate in political, economic, and social sectors, and engage meaningfully in essential roles in peacebuilding and conflict resolution processes. Women and girls gain increased knowledge and awareness, develop self-confidence and the ability to make their own decisions, understand their rights, and can seek employment opportunities.

Goals

  • To support the women's capacity development work through the establishment of the women's study center.
  • To address the needs of women and young people to become more assertive in society, particularly women, as their empowerment significantly impacts their own lives, as well as those of other women and their families.
  • To provide capacity to women as they play an essential role in conflict resolution and peacebuilding.
  • To support women's access to secure livelihoods through self-determination.
