For survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), seeking justice can be an emotionally difficult and deeply painful journey. The impact of violence does not always end with the incident itself. Shame, blame, fear, and social judgment can continue to shape survivors’ lives long afterward, following them into the very institutions and systems intended to protect them. In such circumstances, the pursuit of justice can become another source of distress rather than a pathway to healing, dignity, and accountability.

The justice system exists to uphold rights, protect individuals, and ensure access to effective remedies. Yet when stigma takes root in justice institutions and the wider society, survivors may encounter barriers that extend far beyond legal procedures. They may begin to question their own worth, internalize blame for the violence they experienced, or fear that speaking out will expose them to further judgment and humiliation rather than the protection and support they deserve.

In partnership with Justice Rapid Response (JRR), the Consortium of Christian Relief and Development Associations (CCRDA) conducted an assessment to examine how stigma manifests within the judicial response to SGBV in two conflict-affected regions of Ethiopia.

Drawing on the Synergy for Justice CARSV Stigma Toolkit, the assessment explored the different, interconnected levels at which stigma operates. One of these is internalized stigma, which occurs when survivors absorb harmful societal beliefs and turn them inward. This can manifest in feelings of shame, guilt, self-blame, fear, hopelessness, and diminished self-worth, affecting how survivors perceive themselves, their experiences, and their prospects for the future.

This testimony offers a deeply personal glimpse into the emotional toll that internalized stigma can take on a survivor’s life. It reveals how the weight of personal expectations, social beliefs, and feelings of shame can profoundly affect a person’s sense of identity, belonging, and hope for the future. When survivors internalize harmful attitudes surrounding sexual violence, they may come to blame themselves for what happened, question their worth, or feel undeserving of support, protection, and justice.

Such experiences underscore the importance of understanding stigma not only as a social or institutional barrier but also as an internal struggle that can profoundly shape survivors’ lives. Addressing requires justice institutions and service providers to recognize the emotional and psychological consequences of stigma and to ensure that survivors are treated with compassion, dignity, and respect throughout their pursuit of justice.

Peace is built long before conflict escalates. It takes shape in the conversations we choose to have, the relationships we choose to strengthen, and the space we create for others to be heard. It is nurtured every day through dialogue, trust, inclusion, and the relationships that connect people and communities. Guided by this understanding, the Consortium of Christian Relief and Development Associations (CCRDA) commemorated the 2026 International Day of Peace in Cassiopeia Hotel under the theme "Invest in Peace: For Everyone, Everywhere, Every Day.”

Bringing together CCRDA member CSO leaders, peacebuilding practitioners, experts, and other stakeholders, the gathering created a space to reflect on a fundamental question: how can civil society move beyond commemoration and turn shared commitments into practical action?

The discussions highlighted that preventing conflict requires action before tensions escalate into violence. Participants explored the importance of identifying and addressing underlying tensions early, strengthening community resilience, and creating spaces where people can engage openly before disagreements deepen.
Dialogue emerged as an important pathway for building understanding and bridging divides. Rather than focusing on winning arguments, participants discussed dialogue as a collaborative process grounded in mutual understanding, empathy, communication, and the ability to find common ground. In this sense, dialogue is not simply about speaking; it is about creating the conditions for people to listen, understand one another, and find ways forward together.

A central part of the discussion focused on social cohesion, described as the strength of relationships and solidarity within communities, supported by trust and greater inclusion. Participants explored how stronger connections can be built at different levels, from relationships between individuals and groups to connections across communities and social divisions. The discussion highlighted the importance of both strengthening bonds within communities and building bridges between different groups.

The event also examined the role of CSOs in putting these principles into practice. Participants reflected on how civil society organizations can support early warning and early response, facilitate community dialogue and mediation, promote reconciliation, counter hate speech and misinformation, and create opportunities for meaningful community participation.

The discussions also underscored that sustainable progress requires collaboration. Stronger partnerships among CSOs, government institutions, communities, and development partners can help mobilize resources, strengthen locally led initiatives, and support policies and programs that address the drivers of conflict and exclusion.

For Ethiopia, investing in peace also means investing in recovery and in the foundations that allow communities to rebuild their lives. It means restoring relationships alongside infrastructure, rebuilding trust alongside livelihoods, protecting dignity alongside basic services, and creating opportunities for people to participate in decisions that affect their future.

Ultimately, investing in peace is an investment in people. It is about creating communities where differences can be addressed without violence, where dialogue is possible even when views diverge, where people feel included and heard, and where communities have the confidence and capacity to shape their own future.

The International Day of Peace therefore served not simply as a moment to reflect but as a reminder that the work continues long after the commemoration ends. In Ethiopia’s current context, moving from commemoration to commitment and from commitment to action means making peacebuilding part of everyday practice within communities, institutions, and the relationships that hold society together.

Behind the water that reaches our homes, schools, health facilities, farms, businesses, and industries lies a complex system of people, institutions, infrastructure, and decisions. Water is not simply a resource that comes through a tap. It is fundamental to public health, livelihoods, economic activity, dignity, and the wellbeing of communities.

But when the flow is interrupted, services fall short, or communities struggle to make their concerns heard, an important question emerges: Who is listening, and how can citizens help shape the services they depend on?

The “𝐀𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐧 𝐕𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐔𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚” 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭, implemented by the 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 (𝐂𝐂𝐑𝐃𝐀) in partnership with 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 and 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐀𝐢𝐝.

Implemented across 𝐀𝐝𝐝𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐚, 𝐇𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚, 𝐀𝐝𝐚𝐦𝐚, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐰𝐚, the project worked to strengthen citizen engagement and accountability in urban water supply governance, creating opportunities for citizens and civil society organizations to raise concerns, engage with service providers and decision-makers, and contribute to more responsive and accountable water services.

As the project reached its conclusion, stakeholders came together in Addis Ababa 𝐨𝐧 𝟐𝟑 𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 for a Final Review and Experience-Sharing Workshop to reflect on the journey, examine the changes achieved, share experiences from the four target cities, and capture lessons for the future.

The workshop was more than a reflection on completed activities. It created a space for stakeholders to ask what has changed, what has been learned, what still needs attention, and how citizen participation can continue to shape more accountable and citizen-centered urban water governance.

The justice system is intended to provide protection, uphold rights, and ensure access to remedy. Yet, for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), experiences of stigma within justice institutions can become a barrier to accessing these very protections.

In partnership with Justice Rapid Response (JRR), the Consortium of Christian Relief and Development Associations (CCRDA) conducted an assessment examining how stigma manifests within the judicial response to SGBV in two conflict-affected regions of Ethiopia.

The assessment sought to identify and unpack pathways towards stigma-free judicial structures and institutional reform within the context of Ethiopia’s Transitional Justice Process. It examined how stigma within judicial and justice-related institutions can shape survivors’ experiences and affect their access to justice, recognition, protection, and meaningful support.

Drawing on the Synergy for Justice CARSV Stigma Toolkit, the assessment explored stigma across multiple and interconnected levels, including structural, community, family, and internalized stigma. The findings demonstrate that stigma is not limited to individual attitudes or social perceptions. It can also become embedded within laws, policies, procedures, and institutional practices, creating barriers that restrict survivors’ rights and hinder their access to justice.

At the structural level, stigma may be reflected in discriminatory laws and policies, gaps in protection and referral mechanisms, institutional barriers, and justice processes that do not adequately recognize or respond to survivors’ experiences and complaints. Such barriers can discourage survivors from reporting violence, weaken trust in justice institutions, and compound the harm they have already experienced.

“The first time I reported sexual harassment by my own father to the police, I was not believed. I was told that I was just a kid. After a month, he r***d me. The GBV focal point asked if I had a witness and to go back and scream if it happened again—they told me it was better to be killed than not to have one.”

This testimony illustrates the profound consequences of institutional stigma when survivors are not believed, protected, or treated with dignity. It also highlights how gaps in institutional response can expose survivors to further harm and reinforce barriers to justice.

Addressing stigma at the institutional and structural levels is critical to strengthening justice responses to SGBV and advancing a more inclusive and accountable Transitional Justice Process in Ethiopia.

After an election, relationships within communities can be tested. Political differences, unresolved grievances, and emerging tensions can quickly erode trust and social cohesion when opportunities for constructive engagement are limited. Creating space for dialogue, mediation, and peaceful communication is therefore essential to help communities navigate differences and prevent tensions from escalating.

From September 16–18, 2026, in Dessie, the CCRDA–CECOE project, “Strengthening Community-Based Electoral Peace and Early Response Mechanisms in Post-Election Hotspot Regions of Ethiopia,” is conducting a three-day training on mediation and dialogue. The training brings together community peace forums, youth, women, religious leaders, and political parties to strengthen their capacity to contribute to peaceful engagement and community-level conflict prevention.

Rather than focusing only on responding to conflict after it occurs, the training emphasizes strengthening the skills and mechanisms needed to recognize tensions early, facilitate dialogue, mediate differences, and support peaceful communication. Participants are also exploring the risks posed by hate speech and harmful narratives, which can deepen mistrust, reinforce divisions, and undermine efforts to maintain peaceful relationships.

At the community level, peace is strengthened through the relationships people build and the ways they manage differences. Trust, inclusion, mutual respect, meaningful dialogue, and locally led action provide an important foundation for communities to address challenges without violence.

An election may mark a political moment, but building social cohesion is a continuous community effort.

Strengthening Ethiopia’s response to leishmaniasis calls for coordinated expertise, evidence-informed strategies, and strong collaboration among key health stakeholders. Bringing these efforts together, the Consortium of Christian Relief and Development Associations (CCRDA), in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, is convening a three-day Technical Working Group (TWG) workshop at Adulala Resort from 16–18 September 2026 to advance the country’s national leishmaniasis prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and control program.

The workshop brings together technical experts and stakeholders from government institutions, health offices, research institutions, universities, and partner organizations to strengthen the country’s national leishmaniasis prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and control program.

Leishmaniasis remains a significant public health concern in Ethiopia, with both visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) contributing to substantial illness. Addressing the disease requires coordinated action across case detection and management, surveillance, prevention, vector control, research, and access to effective treatment.

The ongoing workshop provides a platform for participants to review the current national leishmaniasis program, exchange research and implementation experiences, and identify priorities for strengthening prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and control efforts. Discussions are also focusing on how evidence generated by universities and research institutions can better inform program planning, policy, and implementation.

A key focus of the workshop is the review and updating of the 2026–2030 national leishmaniasis and NTD strategic direction. Participants are examining strategic priorities in light of current WHO recommendations, national priorities, program implementation experiences, and emerging evidence while identifying practical opportunities to strengthen the national response.

The workshop is fostering a shared commitment among stakeholders to translate technical evidence, research findings, and collective expertise into stronger strategies and practical actions. Through continued collaboration, participants are working to strengthen Ethiopia’s efforts to prevent, treat, and control leishmaniasis and improve health outcomes for affected communities.
