Investing in Women / Gender-Based Violence

We have developed an innovative project that synergises employability skills with work-based therapy. My experiences with GBV survivors suggest that the lack of a transitional employment model that is trauma-sensitive greatly impedes GBV survivors’ sustainable reintegration. Current agencies providing vocational and job placement services for GBV survivors do not have the capacity to address these issues. HopeBox is a safe place which directly addresses these issues. For our women, it is a transition model that provides employability skills but also fosters an environment where they are safe to be themselves.
