UTU WETU undertakes projects to deepen our understanding of gender dynamics and public health emergencies. One notable project is a grant focusing on gender and public health emergencies. In this initiative, we seek to document the experiences and resilience of survivors of sexual violence, particularly during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Through storytelling and artistic expression, we aim to shed light on the challenges faced by survivors, highlight their resistance and resilience, and advocate for their rights to justice and accountability. Additionally, partnerships with organizations like WomanKind on Policy Briefs further enrich our research efforts, enabling us to generate evidence-based insights that inform policy development and advocacy strategies. By combining research with advocacy, we strive to catalyze positive change and improve outcomes for survivors of sexual violence in the context of public health emergencies.
