Goal 3: Good Health and Wellbeing

20% OF WOMEN PARTICIPANTS REPORT PRACTISING FAMILY PLANNING
TARGET 3.7: BY 2030, ENSURE ACCESS TO SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH-CARE SERVICES, INCLUDING FAMILY PLANNING, INFORMATION AND EDUCATION.
Whilst this is a significant increase in the number of women practising family planning, the percentage of women is still low at graduation.
Our interpretation of this data is that contraceptive use in the DRC is generally very low (demonstrated by the 9% datapoint at baseline), so for the women we serve (the most marginalised in the community), a 20% endline is considerably high.

Goal 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
Promote just, peaceful and inclusive societies
3% OF WOMEN HAVE SPOKEN PUBLICALY AGAINST ABUSE OF WOMEN
TARGET 16.1: BY 2030, SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE ALL FORMS OF VIOLENCE AND RELATED DEATH RATES EVERYWHERE.
Only 3% of graduates from our programme reported speaking out against abuse of women. While low, it is still an increase from 1% at enrolment. Our interpretation of this data is that speaking out publicly on violence against women is extremely difficult for women in the DRC. This context means that even when women have knowledge about the issue, they may continue to face challenges when speaking publicly. This is why we also focus on wider community level attitude, behaviour and social norm change to create an enabling environment for women’s rights.
Goal 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
Promote just, peaceful and inclusive societies
58% OF WOMEN PARTICIPANTS REPORT ENGAGING WITH NETWORKS
