Denying girls and women equal opportunities in education and social engagements reinforces discriminatory attitudes and stereotypes, encouraging submissiveness in girls. It restricts their career options and normalizes domestic violence.

Restricting Mercy’s access to equal decision-making power regarding family resources and educational choices for her children, particularly her daughter Angel, along with an unequal division of family responsibilities, results in burdensome unpaid care work. This imbalance causes mental stress and physical fatigue.

Prevention efforts create safer environments, ensuring women and girls feel secure in their communities. This fosters a sense of well-being, encouraging community members to participate more actively in social and economic activities without fear of violence. Addressing violence against women in the Mercy Community involves conducting several community awareness sessions targeting diverse groups. These sessions aim to enhance their understanding of the profound impact of violence.
