1. Background

The Strengthen Her Voice: Empowering Women’s Voice and Agency to Enhance Gender-Responsive Access to Justice, Inclusive Peace, and Security (GPI 2.0) project is a three-year initiative implemented by Kvinna till Kvinna Foundation Liberia in partnership with UN Women, OHCHR, and the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MGCSP).
