Trauma-informed psychological support and group therapy sessions
Group healing sessions create supportive environments where participants share experiences, reduce isolation, and rebuild confidence through guided psychological care.
Legal aid, court accompaniment, and rights education
Community awareness and prevention activities strengthen early identification of violence and promote access to healthcare and protection services.
Since 1997, we have been establishing safe spaces across Rwanda. Initially safe spaces were built to support women who were victims of gender based violence during the genocide against the Tutsi, often infected with HIV, and simply had no place to seek help. Throughout the years, safe spaces grew to also function as community and family centers.
The program supports early identification, response coordination, and community engagement to reduce risks and improve access to healthcare and protection services.
