NAWAD\u2019s programmes focus on two core thematic areas: Agriculture and Women\u2019s Economic Empowerment<\/b>, and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)<\/b>. Climate and social justice<\/b>, with particular attention to sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), are integrated across both areas. These programmes advance NAWAD\u2019s vision of a society where women and girls enjoy social, economic and environmental justice<\/b> by promoting inclusive agricultural opportunities, economic empowerment, access to quality SRHR services, and freedom from violence. These efforts enable women and girls to live with dignity, exercise their rights and participate fully in society without stigma or discrimination.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
