The aim of the project is to contribute to ending family violence by empowering families and communities through creative programs that promote respectful relationships and cultural changes. As a community organization, our core values are social justice and respectful relationship. Family violence is a big problem in many traditional societies, such as African communities. To mistreat and beat wives is accepted in some cultures, and to give boys better opportunities than girls is also a part of many cultures. Community and religious leaders will be encouraged to contribute to cultural change by promoting religious and cultural practices that advocate for respectful relationships.

We aren’t saying that women can’t be violent against men. We aren’t saying that men can’t mistreat other men, or men other women, and we are not denying that they both might mistreat children too. But we also have to admit that one very big problem is violence committed by men against women, especially in relationships, in marriages and dating and any other circumstance where men come into contact with women. At the proposed forum in January 2015, is what we are focussing on
