The project will support the empowerment of adolescent girls and young women in Thiès, Ziguinchor, Kolda and Sédhiou, regions which are still characterized by high levels of child, early and forced marriage (CEFM), early pregnancies, gender-based violence including female genital mutilation (FGM), girls dropping out of school, and sexually transmitted infections in women. Right To Play and its implementing partners will use sport and play as a form of experiential learning to develop critical life skills such as leadership, communication and self-esteem in 10,320 adolescent girls (7,740) and boys (2,580) that will support enhanced agency in girls and positive masculinity in boys. The project will also work with both local non-governmental and community-based organizations to directly address critical human rights issues facing girls through girls’ enhanced knowledge about and increased community support for sexual and reproductive health and rights, and prevention, response, and referral pathways for child protection, including gender-based violence.

This project aims to support the prevention and eradication of illicit arms transfers, which fuel conflict and armed violence and undermine international peace and security, human rights and humanitarian law. Specifically, this project strengthens the efforts of stakeholders to effectively implement and universalize the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). This is accomplished by building a community of practice to better apply international standards governing the international trade in conventional arms and support and monitor the implementation of the Treaty. Project activities include: (1) providing insight and support to the Presidency of the ATT Conference of States Parties; (2) developing a methodology to identify and monitor progress on the Gender and Gender-Based Violence Action Plan (adopted at the 5th Conference of States Parties in 2019); (3) developing a policy paper on practical guidelines concerning violence against children, as related to Article 7.4 of the ATT which requires States Parties take into account the risk of conventional arms transfers “being used to commit or facilitate serious acts of gender-based violence or serious acts of violence against women and children”; and (4) launching the 2022 annual report of the Arms Trade Treaty Monitor at the 8th Conference of States Parties and the United Nations General Assembly First Committee.
