On July 16 2024, in the municipality of Ganda, the Support for Angolan Women Farmers project, financed by USAID, held a training session for members of the Women’s Advocates Network. The theme was on the role of the Advocates in promoting citizenship and equality, and combatting gender-based violence. During the session, the Filomena Miguel, the Director of Social Action, Family, and Women highlighted that “women must have the habit and custom of reporting when they feel discriminated against or suffer any act that is considered domestic violence, because according to the law, no one can be discriminated against or mistreated, whether physically or psychologically. We have the same rights and duties regardless of sex, race or place of birth. Therefore, it is important that we respect the dignity of the human person.” Representatives from the ADPP project Communities for Peace and Social Inclusion (CAPI), local traditional leaders, 50 members of the advocates network (36 women and 14 men), Radio Ganda, and other participants took part.
