This project was by agreement with UNIFEM as the administrator of the UN Trust Fund To End Violence Against Women. For convenience, we refer to it as our UNIFEM GBV Project
The objectives of the project were:
1. Amendment of and substantial improvements in the effective implementation of the Domestic Violence Act
2. The enactment and implementation of new sexual offences legislation
3. Raising awareness and knowledge about DVA and new sexual offences legislation among the Guyanese population, especially those most at risk of gender-based violence
4. Trained and sensitised police officers who are better equipped to implement the DVA and sexual offences legislation and assist their communities in the prevention of gender-based violence
5. To increase awareness of frontline and community workers to gender-based and domestic violence
6. Enhanced services at Help & Shelter for survivors of gender-based violence
