5. She-Protect Campaign (SPC)
Gender Based Violence (GBV) has become endemic globally. World bank statistics estimates that 1 in 3 women has experienced some form of violence in her life-time. Women in low-and lower-middleincome countries are the most impacted. Since the COVID 19 pandemic, more women have suffered domestic or sexual violence, child marriage, female genital mutilation and other forms of exploitation and abuses in the hands of men. Where women are not protected and empowered, they become vulnerable and easy tools in the hands of men.
Research has shown that rural women suffer from gender-based violence, however, because these cases are under reported or not reported at all, they go unnoticed and the vicious circle is along to be perpetuated over and over again.
The She Protech Campaign (SPC) is one of Esteemed-Hub’s towering initiatives to give voices to all people suffering from any form of gendered violence whether they be male or female as the cases of men suffering violence in the hands of women is limited or under reported, our focus is on the women who suffer more in the hands of their men. The fulcrum of the campaign is to help provide safe spaces for such people and provide psycho-social support, coaching, mentoring and provision of the Esteemed-Hub livelihood support kit to victims to energize empowerment and self-sufficiency. For it is our believe that when women are empowered economically, they become more independent and are able to better take life changing independent decisions for themselves and their communities.
Our Vision
To be a hub for raising a generation of young women, young adults and children.
Our Mission
To inspire women, young adults and children to daily take lifelong positive decisions while building capacity and facilitating livelihood through our array of programs and initiatives.
6. Health for She (H4S)
Sub Saharan Africa accounts for more than 230 million women of reproductive age (15-49). Globally women in Sub Saharan Africa accounted for two-thirds of all maternal deaths, with 546 MMR per 100 000 live births, and with the World Bank estimating that women in Africa represent slightly over 50% of the continent’s human resource, and that women’s health has a huge implication for growth and development on the continent, this gives an insight that access to basic medicare is as important as medicare itself for women and all those in Sub-Saharan Africa.
For us at the Esteemed-Hub Foundation, these statistics are staggering and enough to pull all stakeholders; government, international partners and local civil society groups on their feet. Our Health for She (S4S) program is targeted at the most underprivileged communities, working with healthcare givers and providers, and taking medical outreach to communities in not-easy-to-access areas, attending to all those in need of basic healthcare especially women and children.
