Overview: The ConnectHer App is a digital platform designed to connect survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) and low-income women to safe, dignified, and sustainable job opportunities. The app bridges the gap between women seeking economic empowerment and employers or enterprises offering inclusive work opportunities, skills training, and mentorship support.
