About SAHR Gender Justice Accelerator 2024-2025
Strategic Advocacy Human Rights (SAHR) is calling for applications from civil society leaders who are seizing an opportunity for law and policy reform, or, working to implement laws and policies locally to end Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV).
The SAHR Gender Justice Accelerator is a twelve-month mentorship program that prepares civil society leaders (Fellows) with the skills and tools they need to meaningfully participate in SGBV law and policy-making and implementation. The Accelerator fosters transformation through a comprehensive framework, comprising legal mentorship, workshops, and peer collaboration.
Fellows emerge equipped with a roadmap for their local policy and legal initiatives, professional skills, and enduring connections with fellow advocates.
Their commitment extends beyond empowerment; they are dedicated to cultivating a cadre of influential leaders who can navigate the policy and decision-making realms with efficacy, ultimately working towards eradicating SGBV. Through their work, they nurture leadership and amplify voices that often go unheard in pivotal decision-making processes.
