GBV Capacity Strengthening & Awareness Programme – North-East Nigeria – Aid Initiative to Support Vulnerable & Idle People (AISVIP)

GBV Capacity Strengthening & Awareness Programme – North-East Nigeria

In collaboration with MenEngage Nigeria and supported by Sonke Gender Justice

Project Overview

AISVIP implemented a comprehensive gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response programme across North-East Nigeria, aimed at strengthening systems for survivor support while addressing harmful social norms that perpetuate GBV.
