Esther convenes a meeting with the other members of the Women and Girls’ Safe Space Advisory Group. In the session they discuss actions that have been completed, actions needed, and the transition of the group’s leadership to Julisha, a member of the community.
In this episode, the focus is on Standard 8 of The Inter-Agency Minimum Standards for Gender-Based Violence in Emergencies Programming, that “Women and girls only safe spaces are available, accessible and provide quality services, information and activities that promote healing, well-being and empowerment.”
