Human Rights Protection and Promotion
GCI is dedicated to advocating for and protecting the human rights of all individuals, with a special focus on vulnerable groups such as women, children, and people with disabilities. Our Human Rights Protection and Promotion program aims to address and combat harmful social practices that infringe on the rights and dignity of individuals in our communities.
Addressing Gender-Based Violence (GBV):
We actively work to raise awareness about gender-based violence and its impact on women and children. Through community education sessions and workshops, we inform individuals about their rights and the available support services. We also engage men and boys in dialogues to challenge harmful norms and encourage positive behavior changes that promote gender equality.
Combating Early Marriage and Pregnancy:
Our program focuses on ending early marriage and pregnancy, which disproportionately affect young girls. We provide information and resources to empower girls to make informed choices about their futures. By engaging families and community leaders, we advocate for policies and practices that protect girls from harmful traditions and ensure their right to education and personal development.
Protection of Children’s Rights:
GCI is committed to safeguarding children's rights, ensuring they are protected from violence, exploitation, and abuse. We conduct awareness campaigns to educate communities about children's rights and the importance of child protection. Our initiatives also involve training community leaders and educators to recognize and respond to cases of violence against children.
Supporting Marginalized Communities:
We recognize that marginalized groups, including those living with disabilities and those from minority backgrounds, often face discrimination and exclusion. Our program promotes inclusivity and equal opportunities for these groups through advocacy, awareness-raising, and capacity-building initiatives that empower individuals to stand up for their rights.
Advocacy and Policy Engagement:
GCI actively engages with local and national authorities to influence policies that promote human rights and social justice. We work to ensure that the voices of marginalized communities are heard in decision-making processes, advocating for legal reforms and resources that support human rights protection.
