and for the rights of anyone negatively affected by male dominance, this included out-of-school girls, young women, orphans, widows, single mothers, women living positively with HIV/AIDS, divorces, married women and LGBTI persons. We hold workshops on one’s constitutional, human, land, property and inheritance rights; leadership skills; economic empowerment through agriculture; and many others.
