16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence: Awareness Creation Session on the prevalence and response of GBV & Provision of food support for women living with HIV and survivors of SGBV to enhance their livelihoods
On December 08, 2025, as part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender- BAsed Violence, NEWA in collaboration with Tilla Association of HIV Positive Women, supported 62 women living with HIV and survivors of SGBV with essential food supplies.
An awareness session to strengthen GBV prevention and response was also hosted. Participants shared their lived experiences and called for survivor-centered services, free legal and medical support, and expanded shelter services.
NEWA’s team additionally visited the AWSAD Hawassa Shelter and donated sanitary pads to survivors — standing in solidarity and supporting their dignity and well-being.
Together, we continue the movement to end GBV and uplift vulnerable women.
