- Objective: Promote respect for procedural guarantees and access to justice for women and minors (particularly those accused of practicing charlatanism and witchcraft), by taking sustainable action to reduce gender inequalities.
- Intervention logic: The project intends to act at the heart of formal and community justice systems by promoting access to justice and the defense of women accused of witchcraft with :
- 1. community mobilization of dialogue and awareness-raising frameworks set up in other projects by ASF and its partners;
- 2. a focus on engaging institutional players to reinforce respect for human rights in this area.
- Expected results:
- Communities are sensitized to respect for women’s human rights and procedural guarantees, particularly for women and children accused of charlatanism/sorcery.
- Women and children accused of charlatanism and witchcraft (PCS) receive holistic assistance.
- Respect for human rights and the protection of women victims of gender-based violence are strengthened by the adoption of reforms within the sectoral policy of the Ministry of Justice.
