• The project’s impacts were multi-dimensional, including by empowering older women and victims of gender-based violence, strengthening the capacity of the Centres for Assistance and Prevention, increasing the knowledge of journalists, and changing policies.
• HelpAge International provided key recommendations for integrating the needs of older women survivors into the National Strategy on preventing and combating violence against women and violence in the family for 2018-2023 and its Implementation Plan for 2018-2020.
