Provide vulnerable women and girls, including GBV survivors and persons living with disabilities, access to quality, safe, timely and confidential GBV services in rural Jowhar Rural - Middle Shabelle. ltp style="" class=""gtltspan style="line-height: 107% font-family: Calibri, sans-serif border-color: windowtext"gtThe
proposed project by IRDO will be implemented in rural Jowhar for a period of 10
months. Vulnerable women and girls, including GBV survivors and persons living
with disabilities will be provided with quality access, safe, timely and
confidential GBV services. lt/spangtltspan style="line-height: 107% font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"gtTo
ensure referral based on need in accordance with the area-based service mapping
and standard operating procedures (SOPs) created by the GBV AoR, and to support
access to CMR service providers (trained on CMR protocols), IRDO will provide
GBV specialized services through trained case management teams. These will be
administered by specialized teams of case workers, PSS, and supervisors. A
total of 100 project participants will be targeted in this initiative. IRDO
will provide unconditional cash voucher assistance inform of cash to support
vulnerable and poor families' negative coping strategies like early/forced
marriage to leverage social and financial security or risk of sex in exchange
for food so as to prevent further vulnerability attributed to low economic
status. The cash voucher assistance will be administered for a period of 5
months upon which 500 project participants will have access to cash so as to
improve on their protection and reduce exposure to sexual exploitation,
harassment and GBV cases. lt/spangtltspan style="line-height: 107% font-family: Calibri, sans-serif border-color: windowtext"gtIn
accordance with the GBV AoR guidelines, IRDO will purchase and provide GBV
products, such as dignity kits, to 1036 GBV survivors and vulnerable women and
girls in the target areas of rural Jowhar. lt/spangtltspan style="line-height: 107% font-family: Calibri, sans-serif"gtAccording to assessment reports, shocks like
climate-induced drought, man-made conflicts (war and displacement), and
communities devastated by flooding heighten women's susceptibility, posing a
risk to their safety. In order to retain their human dignity, GBV survivors,
weak women, and girls who cannot afford basic hygiene products will receive
dignity kits from IRDO. Dress (Dirac), Shawl (Garbasar), Sanitary Cloth,
Panties (Different Sizes), Bar Soap (250 gm), Pack of Power Soap (100 gm),
Petticoats (Gorgorat), and Head Scarves (Shash) are among the products that
will be delivered. During humanitarian situations, dignity kits assist
women and girls in maintaining their dignity. The ability to preserve
self-worth and confidence is crucial for navigating challenging and potentially
overwhelming humanitarian situations. Boosting women's self-confidence and
self-esteem helps them feel more capable of caring for and protecting their
children. As guided by a proper diagnosis in consultations with
organizations of persons with disabilities, IRDO will procure and distribute
mobility aid to GBV survivors who are living with disabilities. This will
incorporate Elbow/Auxiliary crutches and where possible wheel chairs.  In
addition to providing survivors and at-risk women and girls with age- and
culturally-appropriate psychosocial one-on-one and group counseling and
support, IRDO will also connect them to other service providers based on their
needs through the created one-stop center. The OSC or WGSS strives to foster
trust between the vulnerable women and girls and project teams made up of
community mobilizers who inform participants about the OSC's services,
counselors, case workers, and supervisors when needed. Lastly, IRDO will carry
out community mobilization and awareness on GBV, SEA and FGM mitigation and
available services in the target areas of operation. The intention is to inform
the community on the availability of services and how to access them.lt/spangt
