Women’s Empowerment

The prolonged conflict and its impact on gender dynamics and family structures have intensified gender-based violence. Our program aims to empower women who have experienced gender-based violence, enabling them to overcome trauma and emerge as leaders who break the cycle of poverty, violence, and inequality.

Parents regularly accompany their children into the classroom to develop parent-child communication and discipline skills, gaining techniques learned under the guidance and supervision of our qualified teachers and social workers.

We provide parents with a safe space and platform to candidly discuss their thoughts, questions and concerns. We also connect them to resources and local organizations that are available to assist them in needs outside of our capacity.

TYO promotes entrepreneurship among women to support their economic independence and personal goals, whilst addressing their needs for childcare and personal development. Many women in our communities possess education, motivation, and basic skills; we provide the concrete programming, training and skill-development to make their participation in the workforce feasible, effective and equal.

Female education and workforce participation is a key to long-term economic growth. In order to effectively leverage this opportunity, women need holistic support that understands the specific context, challenges and barriers they experience. We provide an incubation space for emerging ideas and projects as well as institutional support through training and professional mentor-ship.
