FundingABC – Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (EVAWG) Grant

Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (EVAWG) Grant

Purpose:

The Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (EVAWG) Strategic Framework was launched by the Executive in September 2024. It intends to bring together the whole of society and whole of government to address this issue, which impacts the lives of far too many women and girls across our society.

The main focus of this strategy is on prevention. This recognises that tackling the underlying causes of violence, abuse and harm towards women and girls and stopping it before it starts is vital.

• Equip community groups to prevent to violence against women and girls (Strand 1); and
