Women’s Health and Equal Rights Association Rwanda (WHERAR) was started in 2013 by 6 Rwandan women to create a platform for women to exchange ideas around how issues of VAWG could be addressed. WHERAR works to empower young women and girls with information and skill to challenge patriarchal structures that perpetuate inequality within communities and for women to demand for their rights. The grant awarded is to help WHERAR promote women and girls mental and physical wellbeing through increasing NCDs preventive knowledge in project communities.
