Podcast: Protecting Girls and Women in Cultures Under Pressure
In this episode of the Gender Focus podcast, the team from Plan International and Plan UK share their insights working in South Sudan during the Covid-19 crisis.
They explain how existing gender issues have been exacerbated by the pandemic. This, in turn, is causing increased pressure upon the opportunities of girls and women.
The team observed that many projects were responding to sexual gender-based violence in the region. They then shifted their focus towards a range of prevention approaches.
It is hoped the project will empower women and girls through shared experience.
