Technology Advocates for Violence Prevention - TAVP

Please check out W.TEC's entry for Changemaker's Preventing Violence Against Women competition: http://bit.ly/9yXa9p. Comments & votes appreciated.

W.TEC's proposed project is the Technology Advocates for Violence Prevention - TAVP. This project is targeted at the women and girls’ group in the Lagos Island local government area and will provide training on understanding their rights and equip them with strategies to respond to and report cases of women’s rights abuse and gender violence.

This programme incorporates the use of information technology in building and sharing information and knowledge about gender violence. This serves several purposes: to introduce the women to information technology and enable them develop skills that can empower them economically and socially; to provide information about women’s rights and violence against women; to document the work taking place within their community; to inform other communities and stakeholders such as civil society and women’s groups, government agencies, the media and the larger national and international about grassroots strategies for violence prevention.
