• • • • • • Learning and Sharing Circles: To strengthen coordination, specialisation and standardisation of services, community paralegals, adolescent leaders, JCT, ZWLA and WLSA lawyers and the role players in the Protocol for each district, symposiums were held to share best practices and challenges in service delivery while providing a platform to improve synergies and quality of services. Community- Based Legal Centres, Information Centres and Mobile Legal Aid Clinics: The trained community paralegals and the adolescent leaders through mentoring and coaching of a district lawyer provided services at the community level. Mobile legal aid clinics were conducted with a view to reaching out to the remotest areas. Use of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT): To disseminate information on the services that are available to fight gender-based violence through, for example, bulk SMS, and whatssup. Traditional leaders’ dialogues: In view of the fact that sexual violence is happening at community level by people who are known to the survivor, community dialogue sessions on the issue helped with agreed community-based strategies of eliminating sexual violence. Empowerment circles: This is a sustainable approach which has proved effective and is a replication of a best practice from a similar UN Women funded project. Community buy in: The project was strengthened through the use of stakeholders meetings and dialogue with the players in the Protocol. UN Women Deputy Country Representative, Revai Makanje Aalbaek said the project was implemented in conjunction with UNICEF which also has a focus on ending violence among children. Besides the consortium of JCT, ZWLA and WLSA, Makanje-Aalbaek said the project worked with World Vision, Women Trust, Say What, Family Support Trust, among others.
