These networks and platforms are intended to provide a safe space for women to discuss and articulate local security concerns; engage with key security and official stakeholders; develop advocacy and other skills through training; and address specific localised issues through a dedicated micro-grant mechanism.
The project will be led by Saferworld and implemented jointly with partners.
