Ford Foundation West Africa Office, Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA) and the African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF) are joining forces to address and reduce sexual violence, and its deep-rooted drivers, across West Africa. The initiative, KASA! Ending Sexual Violence in West Africa, will leverage the growing focus on sexual violence in the region and boost feminist action and advocacy to reduce it.
Focusing primarily on Ghana, Nigeria and Senegal, KASA! (meaning ‘speak’ in the Twi language) will be a fund hosted by (AWDF) to strengthen and support women’s rights organisations to raise awareness of sexual violence as a violation of human rights and rally support to combat it.
