Empowered 2 Protect
A powerful and easy-to-adopt SGBV awareness package
Empowered 2 Protect (E2P) is a community-based SGBV protection awareness package which includes an innovative, non-violent prevention tool: the Invi Bracelet. E2P is aligned with IASC and Unicef GBV guidelines.

Now, I consider myself as someone who can contribute to the fight against gender-based violence in my community and prevent it through awareness raising.
Facilitator Ronsard
32 years old Ronsard from Kavumu (South Kivu, DRC) is very motivated to fight sexual and gender based violence in his community. As a facilitator of the Empowered to Protect program, he led sessions for women and men to talk about SGBV and introduced the Invi bracelet among th E2P participants. “We hope that through the awareness sessions combined with the bracelet, we can build a community and a future without violence.” (3 min. 43 sec.).
