WOMEN'S RIGHTS
A non-profit organization focused on helping improve the education of the impoverished children of Zimbabwe by providing school fees , uniforms, food and stationary for orphaned children and improving their learning environment.
How does NOXCOH International put women and girls at the centre?
In any context of need, we will strive to support as many people as we can – women, girls, men, and boys. However, we pay special attention to women’s and girls’ specific needs, help end inequalities, and strengthen their leadership.
Good for women and girls, good for everyone
Inequality harms whole communities and drives poverty. Women have huge potential to lead, innovate, and contribute to the economy. Equality for women and girls in pay and employment could boost many countries’ economies by up to 12%. Supporting women and girls strengthens entire societies.
Engaging men and boys
Creating equality requires everyone’s involvement. We work with men and boys to challenge harmful beliefs, behaviours, and norms that hold communities back. Together, we can change the systems that cause injustice.
For example, our health work has a great focus on reproductive health, including contraception, antenatal care, HIV and Aids ,STI prevention and treatment. During emergencies, we help protect women and girls from the heightened risks of sexual violence, exploitation and abuse. In all settings, NOXCOH and our partners work to expand women’s and girls’ access to education and skills, so they can find jobs that will support them and their families.
To achieve this, we prioritize partnering with local women-led and women’s rights organizations. They understand the challenges women and girls face and know better than anyone how to address them.
