The Women’s Empowerment Programme is a flagship initiative dedicated to promoting the rights, safety, and personal development of women and girls. Somali Culture and Integration e.V. works to dismantle harmful practices such as female genital mutilation (FGM) and domestic violence while promoting positive parenting and equitable participation in society. The programme combines psychosocial support, counselling, awareness campaigns, and skills development to create safer, healthier, and more inclusive communities.
Beyond addressing immediate protection needs, the programme focuses on equipping women with leadership, economic, and social skills that enable them to actively participate in decision-making and community life. Mothers and caregivers are trained in non-violent parenting practices, while women and girls gain access to safe spaces and opportunities for personal growth. This holistic approach ensures that women are not only protected but also empowered to shape their futures and contribute to broader social transformation.
