We have been supporting women and the girl child through action research by questioning and challenging the law, instigating campaighns for changes in laws, policies and plans of action, educating women and girls on their rights and providing legal advice and gender sensitising communities.
35095 women and girls were reached through WLSA various interventions (Mobile aid clinic, Empowerment sessions, Community dialogues, trainings, Workshops, Help desk and Prison visits)
In 2022, 12 knowledge products were developed focusing on Women Political Participation, Gender Based Violence, Child Marriages, Women Human Rights Defenders and Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights.
In 2022 WLSA embarked on an intense ‘Access to Justice’ program.103 mobile clinics were conducted reaching 9571 women and girls.140 help desk sessions were also conducted reaching 9054 women and girls.
WLSA conducts action research in the seven countries of Southern Africa namely Botswana, Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique, Lesotho, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. The essence of action research is that we inform, advise and take action during the research. For instance when we formulated the project, the constitutional reform process was not yet in place but we integrated it into the project since it is key to the participation of women in politics and decision making. In essence, we educate women about their legal rights, providing legal advice, questioning and challenging the law.
We have offices in the following countries: Mozambique, Zambia, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Botswana
