Citizen Engagement And Leadership

At WIDO, we are dedicated to fostering positive change in the fight against gender-based violence (GBV). Our citizen engagement and leadership service is a cornerstone of our mission, actively involving community members in initiatives that promote awareness, education, and leadership development.

Key components

1. Community engagement initiatives:

WIDO collaborates with community leaders and faith-based organizations to create impactful campaigns, workshops, and discussions addressing GBV prevention and support. By actively involving community members, we aim to build a collective understanding of the issues and encourage participation in meaningful initiatives.

2. Leadership development:

Empowering individuals is central to our approach. Through targeted leadership development programs, we equip community members with the skills and confidence to challenge societal norms and cultural practices that perpetuate discrimination and violence. By fostering leadership skills, we aim to create a cadre of individuals committed to driving positive change within their communities.

3. Challenge societal norms:

Our efforts extend beyond traditional awareness campaigns. By encouraging active participation and leadership, WIDO seeks to challenge deeply rooted societal norms that contribute to gender-based violence. We believe that true transformation occurs when individuals take proactive roles in reshaping cultural attitudes.

4. Network of informed advocates:

Through our engagement initiatives, we cultivate a network of informed advocates who play a crucial role in eradicating discrimination and GBV. These advocates contribute to our broader mission by spreading awareness, sharing knowledge, and actively participating in community-driven solutions.

5. Grassroots movements and community-driven solutions:

WIDO is committed to catalyzing grassroots movements. By engaging citizens and developing local leadership, we ensure that our efforts lead to sustainable, community-driven solutions. This approach creates a lasting impact in the ongoing battle against gender-based violence.

Impact:

Through the citizen engagement and leadership service, WIDO envisions a society where informed and empowered individuals actively contribute to the eradication of discrimination and gender-based violence. Our collective efforts aim to create a ripple effect, inspiring positive change at both individual and community levels. Join us in building a future free from the shackles of gender-based violence.
