Women's Protection And Empowerment

Esther talks with her colleague, Afiya, who works in economic empowerment. On their regular walks, they discuss how economic programs should involve women and girls in the planning and implementation. In this episode, the focus is on Standard 12 of The Inter-Agency Minimum Standards for Gender-Based Violence in Emergencies Programming, that “Women and adolescent girls access economic support as part of a multisectoral GBV response.” The Gender-Based Violence Minimum Standards Mini-Series is presented by International Rescue Committee, and hosted on the Women’s Protection and Empowerment podcast.
