Operation A Pittance of Time - Year 2

The objective of this project is to help Honey Bunny Inc. to achieve the Responsible Sourcing and Supply Chain Security audits in order to meet the requirements of doing business with Walmart China.

This project aims to support the health and rights of women and girls in South Sudan by increasing the availability of skilled healthcare providers, improving attitudes toward sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and the fighting against gender-based violence (GBV). The project will also support South Sudan’s government in developing and implementing SRHR and GBV policies.

Project activities include: (1) equipping targeted health facilities and deploying qualified healthcare workers; (2) sensitizing communities about the availability of SRHR, GBV, and HIV services and mobilizing these communities to prevent and respond to GBV; (3) training healthcare professionals and providing support to health training institutions; and (4) supporting the relevant government ministries to develop and enact gender-responsive SRHR, GBV, and HIV laws and policies.

This project expects to support 10 health institutes which will train up to 5,000 healthcare workers, provide services and support to up to 7,000 survivors of GBV, and reach up to 500,000 people with positive messaging on SRHR and the fight against GBV.

All activities carried out are in line with international mine action standards. This project aims to contribute to improved security and resilience of communities affected by explosive remnants of war, particularly vulnerable groups, including women and internally displaced persons, on the Armenia-controlled territory of Nagorno Karabakh.

This 29-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Healthy Youth Network will achieve this by building and expanding partnerships to formalize the integration of GBV Ally considerations into the City of Hamilton’s Youth Engagement Strategy, strengthening partnerships with the Hamilton public school boards to formalize their collection of GBV-related data; strengthening partnerships to develop and pilot the Ally Program in Waterdown District High School, which incorporates the curriculum-based ‘EngageMENt’ and ‘EmpowerHER’ programs with Halton Women’s Place, the speaker-based ‘Be More Than a Bystander’ program with Interval House of Hamilton, with youth-led events aimed at raising awareness about GBV and building healthy relationships; and, developing and launching GBV Ally resources on their online portals.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by addressing persistent and harmful gender norms and attitudes, advancing inclusive policies and practices, increasing networks and collaboration, and supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power to support women’s equality.
Healthy Youth Network will work with partners, including the City of Hamilton, Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, Halton Women’s Place, Interval House of Hamilton, and youth-serving networks and organizations. These partners will support training, community engagement, awareness raising and policy and program changes that will ensure that progress on preventing and addressing GBV in the Hamilton/Flamborough area is not rolled back as a result of the pandemic.
