Why markets?• Agriculture - key income stream for 86% of the
population• 55% of women reported experiencing some form of
violence in the previous 12 months while at the market.
• 22% females report experiencing more than one incident of SV in the market.
• 64% of females and males reported witnessing some form of SV in the market.
• SV was not the only problem, extortion, theft, ethnic clashes and other forms of violence.
• Local population from going to markets and virtually no tourism in some markets due to safety concerns
• Health and sanitation concerns, lack of maintenance and planning
• Markets are social spaces and provide an opportunity to build and strengthen communities
Designed based on facts and needs identified by market communities
