The project aims to contribute to the strengthening of social cohesion at the family and community level by specifically addressing issues such as stigmatization and rejection of survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, which represents a particularly vulnerable group. Some of the negative impacts of the project include: 1) Women and girls do not have the financial resources to pay for taking part in the Project activities; 2) management does not take into account some of cultural needs that the Indigenous Peoples (PA) request; 3) members of the Bantu community and the PA community refuse to participate together in activities in their localities; 4) PA survivors do not care to be assisted on the psychosocial plan by members of the Bantu community, and vice versa.  Réduire
