More than 1,500 women and girls in targeted communities are able to pursue their rights through courts and legal pathways and have a better understanding of their basic rights as per Iraqi local laws. Specifically, women and girls in the targeted communities understand the legal pathways and means of litigation, while women and girls GBV survivors and/or those at risk of GBV are able to access protection services (including psychosocial and referral support provided in-person and through GBV hotline services). Stakeholders in local communities are also aware of GBV risks and the gendered impact of the COVID-19 crisis. Furthermore, women’s centers in Kirkuk and Anbar are now able to provide a comprehensive set of services including legal aid, case management, counselling, awareness raising, health care and childcare services to the women in need (women and girls GBV survivors and/or at risk of GBV). Staff of the centers possess enhanced knowledge and skills on GBV case management and can deliver higher quality GBV prevention and response services.
