The discussions focused on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SHR), their legal rights, and strategies for preventing Gender-Based Violence (GBV).

During the visit, 15 of these women received legal aid to initiate their pursuit of justice for the GBV they had experienced.

This initiative aims to empower the women and ensure they have access to justice and the support they need to rebuild their lives.
