HACOCA's Commitment to Gender Equality:

Integrating Gender Transformation in Every Program

HACOCA prioritizes gender as a central component of all its programs, recognizing that gender transformation is essential for sustainable community development. The organization designs and implements both gender-specific initiatives and integrates gender considerations across all its programs. Below is our approach to advancing gender equality.

Our key program areas are:

Gender Integration and Transformation

Advocacy on Gender Equality

HACOCA is dedicated to advocating for gender equality through strategic campaigns and public awareness efforts. The organization aims to challenge societal norms, influence policy, and create an inclusive society where equal opportunities are available to everyone.

Gender Based Violence (GBV) Screening

HACOCA conducts gender-based violence (GBV) screening to identify and address instances of violence affecting individuals in the community. By implementing thorough screening processes, the organization aims to ensure that victims receive the necessary support and intervention while also raising awareness and promoting preventive measures to combat GBV effectively.

Referral and Linkage to Essential Support Services

HACOCA facilitates the referral and linkage of gender-based violence (GBV) survivors to essential stakeholders, such as legal services and gender desks. This process ensures that survivors receive comprehensive support, including legal aid, counseling, and other specialized services, while also strengthening the network of resources available to address and mitigate the impacts of GBV effectively.

Integrating Gender Equality into Health, Economic Empowerment, and Education Programs
