Groupe d’Action pour la Justice et l’Egalité Sociale (GAJES) was founded in 1990 to fight for social justice, to empower women and to improve women representation and participation within decision-making bodies and entities. The grant awarded is to help change community mindset around violence against women and girls (VAWG), highlight the impact of violence on the mental health and wellbeing of women and draw attention to the need to strengthen interventions around the emotional healing and well-being of women and girls.
