Training & Programs
Hako Women’s Collective Impact have successfully organised training and run awareness programmes on the following:
1. ENDVAC (End Violence Against Children Campaign)
This was developed using UNICEF Resources and scripts prepared by the Bishops of PNG and Solomon Islands. The campaign ran for one month (June 2017) – We had 1440 participants with adults, youths and parents from 20 venues in the Hako Constituency.
2. SPLP (Stret Pasin blong Lukautim Pikinini)
A Positive Parenting Course was designed in HAKU by HWC in collaboration with AVI HWC Program Mentor Marilyn Havini and FSC volunteer Charmaine McBrearty. This initiative fulfils a 10 year HWC Vision for transformation of families to address Family and Sexual Violence (FASV), Child protection & nurturing, crosscutting social issues in post conflict Bougainville Society. Again supported by UNICEF funding, we conducted a PILOT PROJECT from 2015-2017 with acknowledgement from the Department of Community Development.
The trial courses and training developed into 3 parallel courses covering village assembly areas of Hako for 5 weeks of Positive Parenting activities from July to August 2017 and continuing.
We have 3 teams with 6 trainers for each course. This Positive Parenting Training has 90 participants. The responses from the community are very encouraging. This program is being closely monitored and full data collection, analysis with M&E will be provided to our partners (Department of Community Development and funder UNICEF).
3. Human Rights Defenders' Network
The Hako Women’s Collective has a team of Human Rights Defenders trained by another HWC Partner Nazareth Community Family Retreat, who are committed to addressing FASV and involved in defending rights of families and clients suffering from sexual violence.
HWC runs programs for the Hako community to support families and develop skills for non-violent relationships and protection of human rights. Key programs include:
