Episcopal Relief & Development has received an $8 million, 4-year grant from The Laura Ellen and Robert Muglia Family Foundation to prevent and respond to violence against women and girls in five sub-Saharan African countries.
Through this strategic partnership, Episcopal Relief & Development will expand proven approaches and interventions to reach half a million people across Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Liberia and South Sudan to advance equality and reduce violence experienced by women and girls. The program will equip faith and other community leaders to address the root causes and drivers of this violence. It will blend faith-based engagement with behavioral science to challenge behaviors and attitudes that are harmful to women and girls, and to dispel disinformation, myths and the stigmas that perpetuate violence.
