INGO Z’AMAHORO (Peaceful Homes)

Rwanda has taken strides towards gender equality through laws protecting women and girls. However, a gap exists between legal frameworks and everyday realities. This is evident in the continued prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV), fueled by factors like limited rights awareness, alcohol abuse, and persistent cultural norms.The Ingo z’Amahoro  “Peaceful Homes” project, a partnership with Kvinna Till Kvinna, tackles these issues head-on. Its focus is on preventing and addressing GBV while promoting sexual and reproductive health awareness. The project offers legal aid, counselling, couple communication sessions, safe spaces for women and youth, and intergenerational dialogue while empowering individuals and communities to become active agents in the fight against GBV and the pursuit of gender equality.

Through this project, we aim to contribute to the prevention and response to gender-based violence and expand awareness on sexual and reproductive health.
