On March 10, 2025, Songtaba officially launched the Gender Rights and Empowerment Project (GREP) as part of this year’s #internationalwomensday celebrations. With funding support from the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women, this four-year initiative, in partnership with Renel Ghana Foundation, aims to:
• End gender-based violence and harmful cultural practices
• Strengthen legal protections for women and girls
• Provide economic empowerment opportunities
• Advocate for policies such as the Anti-Witchcraft Bill
The launch brought together civil society leaders, legal experts, and both state and non-state actors, all committed to advancing #GenderJustice in Ghana. As Hajia Lamnatu Adam, Executive Director of Songtaba, profoundly stated:
“This project cannot succeed in isolation. We need a multi-sectoral approach to create lasting impact.” With the UN Trust Fund’s support, we are one step closer to ensuring that women and girls live free from violence and #discrimination.
Let’s stand together to amplify women’s voices, protect their rights, and create a future of dignity and #equality.
