The Kalkal Human Rights Development Organization employs the #SASA! approach, which stands for Start, Awareness, Support, and Action, to effectively prevent and respond to gender-based violence (GBV). This innovative framework emphasizes a comprehensive strategy for engaging communities in addressing the root causes of GBV.
Key Components of the #SASA! Approach:
- Start: Initiating conversations within communities about gender norms and violence, creating a foundation for change.
- Awareness: Raising awareness about the prevalence and impact of gender-based violence, empowering individuals to recognize and challenge harmful behaviors.
- Support: Providing resources and support for survivors of GBV, ensuring they have access to necessary services, including legal aid and counseling.
- Action: Mobilizing communities to take collective action against gender-based violence, advocating for policy changes, and fostering an environment that promotes gender equality.
