EQUAL RIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS PROJECT - EROP PROJECT

The Equal Rights and Opportunities for Women and Girls Project dubbed the EROP Project is being implemented as a response to numerous human rights challenges women and girls in particular continue to face and as a result do not realize their rights and take opportunities for the advancement of their ambitions and to live fulfilled lives. This project seeks to ensure that women and girls in Ghana realize their human rights and utilize opportunities that enable them to live successful lives. To achieve this goal, the project educate women and girls on their human rights and those of others and opportunities available to them as part of efforts to empower them to hold duty bearers accountable; train women and girls on entrepreneurial skills and opportunities for economic empowerment; strengthen the capacity of Social Justice Institutions for prevention of violence and timely and successful intervention when violence occurs; advocate for the passage of the Affirmative Action Bill which has been pending for more than two decades and increase support for women and girls in Communities and Schools on their human rights so that violations are addressed and respect for everyone’s rights is sustained. The EROP Project is being funded tby Dutch Embassy in Ghana and implemented by Members of the Ghana SRHR Alliance (GH Alliance), Africa Centre for Human Rights and Sustainable Development (AfCHuRSD) and WOMEN IN NEED (WIN). The Goal of the project is to contribute to the realization of gender equality and opportunities for women and girls to live successful lives in Ghana by the end of September 2021.
