EVA has been supporting safe space sessions for adolescent girls and young women(AGYW) in two communities in Kaduna state. These sessions were facilitated by 10 AGYW trained by EVA to build AGYW capacity on bodily autonomy knowledge, life skills, and Sexual and Gender Based Violence. The 291 AGYW who have benefited from this program have expressed the need to be economically empowered and access formal education to further build their self-esteem & enable them to participate in decision making.
