The NGO ALIAR has initiated training courses in Malabo and Bata, Equatorial Guinea, aimed at women victims of gender violence. This project is funded by the European Union and executed by the Foundation of Religious for Health (FRS). The program seeks to contribute to the sustainable socioeconomic reintegration of these women by strengthening their entrepreneurship and employability skills.
The training program, which began on October 2, consists of modules in employability, including Professional Cleaning Assistant and Warehouse Management Assistant. The courses will last for several months and will not only focus on technical competencies but also on building self-esteem, providing psychosocial support, and promoting female entrepreneurship.
The initiative is part of a broader project that aims to strengthen civil society organizations in Equatorial Guinea. Under this project, FRS provides financial support and technical accompaniment to local organizations like ALIAR to implement community initiatives. The goal is to equip women victims of gender violence with practical tools for their labor insertion and economic independence.
Dina Nsuga Oñana Okomo, Director General of Gender Equality, highlighted the importance of this initiative during the opening ceremony. She emphasized that the activity is part of her department's actions to support women victims of violence in the country. The objective is to work coordinately with organizations involved in this area to enable these women to enter the labor market and become independent and entrepreneurial.
ALIAR's program aims to provide an integral accompaniment to women who have experienced gender violence, promoting the strengthening of their capacities and their recovery process. By providing these training courses, the NGO hopes to empower women to achieve economic entrepreneurship and improve their access to decent incomes, reducing their economic dependence and favoring their social inclusion.
The training program is a significant step towards addressing the challenges faced by women victims of gender violence in Equatorial Guinea. By enhancing their skills and promoting entrepreneurship, ALIAR and its partners aim to contribute to the socioeconomic development of these women and their communities.
The success of this initiative will depend on the effective implementation of the training program and the support provided to the women participants. With the backing of the European Union and FRS, ALIAR is well-positioned to make a positive impact on the lives of these women and their communities.
