Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a severe human rights violation with lasting physical, psychological, and socio-economic consequences. At Clear Vision for Change (CIVISCE), we take a multi-sectoral and survivor-centered approach to prevent GBV, support survivors, and advocate for systemic change in Kigoma, Tanzania.
CIVISCE works at the community, institutional, and policy levels to challenge gender norms, strengthen legal protections, and promote gender equality. We engage local leaders, schools, media, and legal institutions to shift harmful attitudes and foster safe, inclusive environments. Our prevention efforts include:
Community Engagement & Activism: Partnering with grassroots organizations, religious leaders, and male champions to promote gender-equitable behaviors and prevent GBV.
School-Based GBV Prevention Programs: Training teachers and students in gender sensitivity and running awareness campaigns on healthy relationships, consent, and early marriage prevention.
Media & Digital Advocacy: Leveraging radio, TV, and social media to challenge gender norms and promote women’s rights.
Legal Reforms & Justice Systems: Training police, judges, and prosecutors on survivor-centered responses and advocating for stronger legal protections against GBV.
