<\/figure>To ensure that women\u2019s rights are protected and adequate assistance is provided to combat violence against women and promote gender equality, GFD has built the capacity of CBOs and provided social, psychological and legal support services for women who have suffered from violence. The foundation has launched over 80 advocacy and awareness-raising initiatives in five governorates to change community perceptions of women\u2019s rights and to promote for their equal treatment. Furthermore, the foundation developed a resource booklet that encompassed different types of violence against women. This booklet aims to improve the status of women in rural areas as it is being utilized as a reference guide for organizations concerned with women\u2019s rights. Furthermore, the booklet provides guidance and resources to women who need help and support.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBy Refugees to Refugees (R2R) project was an intervention that was designed to better protect the rights of vulnerable groups of refugees and migrants and mitigate the risks of exploitation, discrimination and exclusion whilst residing in Egypt. The R2R project targeted 1700 vulnerable refugees and migrants with the aim of helping them recover from failed attempts of sea migration, adapt to living in Egypt, access psychosocial, and acquire a set of skills for socio-economic integration. The purpose of R2R was to enable them to gradually rebuild their lives, achieve their goals and contribute dynamically to the broader communities where they live. Throughout the project vulnerable refugees and migrants received psychosocial support and counselling sessions. In addition, the project worked on increasing their capacity to become economically self-reliant and enabled them to integrate in Egypt by accessing the job market through the Employment Navigator Platform (ENP) found at www.refugeecareers.com<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn partnership with CONEMUND, GFD implemented a two-year project which aimed to improve the rights of women in Egypt, and sought to combat all forms of violence against women and promote gender equality in five governorates of Upper Egypt. The project mainly worked on changing the perceptions of local communities and raise awareness about risks associated with different forms of violence against women, namely early marriage, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), domestic violence and sexual harassment among local community members. The project also worked on strengthening the capacity of local CBOs to develop prevention and protection mechanisms and combat practices against women that violate human rights in Egypt.<\/p>
The project implemented five workshops on building community support, advocacy, support provision and building partnerships. The capacity building training programs built the capacities of 10 community-based organizations, which enabled them to provide different types of support to women survivors of violence in Upper Egypt. Following the first year, the project achieved good progress on the ground in the targeted areas with women survivors of violence by eliminating the barriers that prevented them from talking about their experiences and decreasing the social stigma, enabling them to gain confidence and durable skills that will help them in their present and future situation, and encourage them to become advocates in order to speak out about their experiences and assist their respective CBOs to conduct awareness- raising sessions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
