SPECIFIC IMPACT :

ZIMBABWE Because of their focus on healing , they had hundreds of survivors coming through for support – majority with mental health challenges because of abuse . This was a first in Zimbabwe .
CONGO Focus had great impact on community leaders who became aware of consequences of not respecting and protecting nature , so multiple actions have been planned to plant more trees and implement initiatives on collection of non-biodegradable objects .
MONGOLIA Reached over 1 million people through all their online activities ( in a country of 3.5 million people , this is very significant ). This led to the creation of women-friendly environments and spaces for women , which is the first of its kind in Mongolia .
GABON Their theme of consent created initiatives for schools and communities to make protection of their pupils the main priority with listening and care programs .
PHILIPPINES Linking OBR to the plunder of the country ’ s resources by the government was impactful as a huge number of local government units joined OBR this year , making OBR an integral part of their March month long women ’ s month programs . This is despite the continued vilification , political suppression and red tagging of groups like Gabriela by the national government , and despite the national government ’ s order not to support progressive organizations like Gabriela .
