Gender Equality and Reduced Inequalities

TAD’s work is to combat Gender Based Violence perpetuated against Girls and Women with Disabilities in Zimbabwe’s most rural remote areas. Gender-based violence (GBV) is a serious violation of human rights and a life-threatening health and protection issue. Girls and Women with Disabilities in rural communities are often at greater risk of physical, sexual and psychological violence, such as rape, sexual abuse, trafficking and forced prostitution. In this regard, we aim to respond and prevent gender-based violence against all girls inclusive of girls and women with disabilities in the rural remote areas in Zimbabwe. On response to GBV, our interventions entail capacity building of girls and women with disabilities on VAW, SRH, local laws that protects them against GBV, direct service provision and referrals to other service providers for post violence services such as counselling or access to justice. On Prevention, our work includes raising awareness on SGBV and challenging all harmful cultural practices and empowering communities to know disability rights and women’s rights to create an enabling environment where women with disabilities are safe and protected from GBV.
