Description:
The overall objective of the "Making all spaces safe" project is to increase the benefits of technology, free from gender-based violence, for women and girls in all their diversity to reach their full potential and live without discrimination. The project aims to intervene globally and at the country-level (Benin and Kenya). It seeks widespread benefits in violence prevention and response while innovating, testing, and building the evidence-base for future initiatives. It also seeks to strengthen the global network of stakeholders working to address technology-facilitated gender-based violence. Its beneficiaries are civil society organizations, including women-led and digital rights organizations, local governments, services providers, and United Nations Population Fund's implementing partners intervening in gender-based violence programmes. It also benefits youth and adolescent girls and boys.
