Breaking the Silence: WhatWorks2Malawi's Impact on Communities

Intimate partner violence is a pervasive issue in many societies, with devastating effects on individuals, families, and communities. In Malawi, the WhatWorks2Malawi program is making significant strides in addressing this critical issue and creating a safer environment for women.

WhatWorks2Malawi is a comprehensive program that aims to empower women and reduce various forms of intimate partner violence, including physical, sexual, economic, and psychological abuse. By providing survivors with the support and resources they need, the program helps them report violence, seek help, and ultimately break the cycle of abuse. One of the key objectives of WhatWorks2Malawi is to change community attitudes towards intimate partner violence. Through community mobilization efforts and gender transformative curriculum, the program is working to create a culture where violence is not tolerated, and survivors are supported and empowered. In addition to its community-level activities, WhatWorks2Malawi also engages in national advocacy and influencing activities to bring about policy changes that will further protect women and girls from violence. By collaborating with government agencies, NGOs, and other stakeholders, the program is advocating for a more survivor-centered approach to addressing intimate partner violence. The impact of WhatWorks2Malawi is tangible and far-reaching. Survivors are more willing and able to seek help, communities are becoming less tolerant of violence, and formal and informal support services are becoming more accessible and survivor-centered. Through its innovative approach and commitment to achieving scale, WhatWorks2Malawi is making a real difference in the lives of women in Malawi.
