In partnership with the Concerned Youth Organisation, COL is training 2,250 women and girls in Mchinji District, Malawi to increase gender equality. Activities are implemented in rural settings with typical grassroots communities, some of whom have never worked with an NGO, to improve gender equality. In the first phase of the project, women and girls in the Traditional Authority Nyoka benefited from a session on human rights, gender equality and sexual and reproductive rights, under the theme “Health-seeking behaviour among women and girls.”
