Abused Women Support Project (Phase Two)<\/h2><\/div>
The donor: Arab Gulf Development Program AGFUND<\/p>\n

Funding volume: ($ 50,000)<\/p>\n

Participating branches: (Edfu – Aswan – Qena)<\/p>\n

About AGFUND<\/p>\n

The Arab Gulf Program for Development (AGFUND) is a regional developmental donor organization, which operates from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as its headquarter. AGFUND was established in 1980 at the initiative of His Royal Highness Prince Talal bin Abdulaziz, with the support of the Gulf Cooperation Council states\u2019 leaders (the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Qatar, and the State of Kuwait).<\/p>\n

AGFUND works in the field of development at the international level through an active partnership with international, regional and national development organizations, government agencies, the private sector, and civil society.<\/p>\n

AGFUND has contributed since its establishment in supporting and financing 1539 projects in some developing countries.<\/p>\n

The project idea:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In response to the noticed needs of women dealing with the association to obtain various services, the association decided to advocate the issue of renouncing violence against women, whether in the context of the family, the street or society in general, which clarified and its features were revealed through the focus groups discussion conducted by the association with them, which concluded two main factors: –<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The lack of awareness among women of their rights and the protective mechanisms provided by law for them.<\/li>\n
  2. The lack of supportive services for the battered woman in case of suffering from violence, and her need for support to overcome it and resume her life.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Accordingly, the association decided to contribute to solving this issue through two basic mechanisms:<\/p>\n

    Raise awareness of women’s rights, spread the idea of \u200b\u200bnon-violence in all its forms, and fight against the violence which occurs on vulnerable and marginalized groups, such as women and children in particular, and spread this idea at all levels through a set of interventions such as public meetings, media, round tables and other activities. It targets all groups of battered women and their abusive men and other men in the community, media, local government and all those who are interested in and influencing this issue<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”261″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″]

    The reasons for implementing the project:<\/h2><\/div>
    <\/p>\n
      \n
    1. Lack of awareness among women of their rights and the protective mechanisms provided by law for them<\/li>\n
    2. Failure of the executive bodies to provide support and protection for battered women<\/li>\n
    3. Devoting the image of battered women in the media as the ideal image for Egyptian women.<\/li>\n
    4. Women\u2019s reluctance to go to the listening units for fear of stigma and ostracism, and considering them out of custom<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
