AmVee’s MOVE against Sexual and Gender-based Violence
AmVee Disability Pride Farms has been awarded a grant by Purposeful to enhance and expand its efforts in combating sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in Sierra Leone. This project aims to support and strengthen AmVee’s initiatives, empowering women with disabilities to engage in agriculture as a platform for raising awareness and advocating against SGBV.
No to SGBV
Women, especially women with Disabilities should farm to unite against Sexual and Gender-based Violence.
Inclusive Farming
No one should be left behind. Let us celebrate disability by encouraging women with disability in farming to end SGBV
Circularity in Farming
As we farm, we put the environment and SGBV first. Circularity and ending SGBV are therefore at the center of all our farming activities.
Disability Pride Farms to end Sexual and Gender-based Violence
eWomen SL launched the Disability Pride Farms initiative to promote a positive narrative around disability by celebrating the contributions of women with disabilities to farming and agriculture. This initiative emphasizes their strengths, resilience, and capabilities, challenging the stereotypes and stigma that contribute to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). To empower women with disabilities and enable their participation, eWomen SL offers various training programs and assists in writing grant proposals. Aminata Fudia Bangura’s group is the first to be mentored by eWomen SL and successfully win the MOVE Purposeful grant aimed at ending SGBV in Sierra Leone.
