This seeks to improve the protective environment of the vulnerable groups especially women and children. HAPEN monitors and reports on cases of sexual and gender-based violence and other forms of human rights abuse while spearheading efforts of mainstreaming SGBV and sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) into other activities such as livelihood. The same efforts extend into facilitating community initiatives to address stigmatization. For victims, HAPEN operates referral systems that incorporate trauma healing, psychosocial support and basic services. HAPEN conducts forums, seminars and workshops on FGM, child labour and other related SBV through the assistance of Nurses and case studies
