Since its inception, WEP-SS has focused on combating violence against women, promoting women’s participation, human rights, land rights, and overall women empowerment. Following the 2013 conflict, the organization developed a more structured set of intervention themes:

1. Advocacy for Gender Equality, Women’s Rights, and Access to Justice

   • Focus on rights such as property ownership, political and social participation, non-discrimination, equal participation, education, and the freedom to choose a life partner.
   • Special attention to school drop-out girls and people living with disabilities, providing entrepreneurial skills to support their families.

2. Protection, Awareness, and Support for GBV Victims and Child Protection

   • Raise community awareness on gender-based violence (GBV) and provide support to GBV victims.
   • Offer psychosocial support and establish safe spaces for children and other vulnerable groups.

3. Food Security and Livelihoods

   • Address emergency food security and support food production initiatives like offseason vegetable growing and local seed production.
   • Support existing business initiatives, particularly those with a high proportion of female participation, with resources to advance their ventures.
   • Promote kitchen gardens to enhance nutrition levels.

4. Research and Capacity Building

   • Engage in research through institutions and consultancies to develop evidence-based interventions.
   • Commit to capacity building for women, youth, and school drop-out girls by providing vocational skills that promote self-reliance.

5. Peace Building and Conflict Management

   • Reinforce local peace-building initiatives and strengthen relations between host communities and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
   • Contribute to conflict management based on humanitarian principles of neutrality, impartiality, equality, and inclusivity.
