A National Forum
Madagascar is the only country to have created a national version of this forum in order to find realistic results and especially adapted to the context of the country to achieve equality. The Forum was divided into 6 themes, with 6 coalitions and WBTS joined the coalition on gender-based violence.
Implementation of a pilot project
Following the Forum, we also joined the committee in charge of the implementation of the first pilot project of the coalition alongside the NGO C for C and SOS Village d’Enfant. This project planned in the District of Bekily allows us to engage our volunteers present in the region for sensitization on gender-based violence.
