The FEPAPS/HB project aims to enhance the protection of women and girls in the Hauts-Bassins region, particularly in contexts of crisis and conflict. Its objective is to reduce vulnerabilities and promote the active role of women and girls in peacebuilding and conflict resolution.
The project focuses on three key areas:
✔ Economic empowerment of women by strengthening the capacities of microprojects and women-led cooperatives.
✔ Protection of women and girls from gender-based violence (GBV) and promotion of positive masculinities.
✔ Advocacy and awareness-raising to strengthen women's participation in decision-making related to peace and security.
