Women in Health and safety network is thriving network of people dedicated to employing the human rights based approach towards uplifting the health and safety of women and girls. The organization is currently implementing a program in Somali Land benefiting thousands of women and girls including their families and communities. 

Women in Health and safety was awarded a 2-year grant funding from the African Women’s Development Fund for a project titled “Leveraging Strategies of Positive Action towards Reducing Violence against Women and Girls” aimed at improving the health and safety of women and girls through combating all forms of gender based violence (VAW/G) and its effects. Ultimately, the project aimed to build a protective environment for women and girls to be free from violence, including negative traditional practices in Somali Land. It thought to do this by focusing on social change, addressing Terms of Reference for Baseline Survey patriarchy (a root cause for many harmful practices against women and girls including forced/child marriage, widow inheritance, sexual violence, dowry related violence; among others); rallying support from all leaders for a violence free environment and, by supporting implementation of the existing legislative framework for addressing violence against women and girls.
