The NET Project – Network, Engage & Transform aimed to strengthen the political representation and leadership of women and girls in Northern Sri Lanka as a critical step in preventing and addressing gender-based violence (GBV).
Implemented by Chrysalis with funding from CARE Deutschland-Luxemburg and the European Union – Sri Lanka & Maldives, the project recognized that women’s meaningful participation in political and decision-making spaces is essential to building safer, more equitable communities.
The primary beneficiaries were women and girls in conflict-affected communities of Northern Sri Lanka. The project also engaged local leaders, institutions, and community stakeholders to strengthen collective responsibility in preventing and responding to GBV.
This project was made possible through the generous support of our donors, whose contributions played a vital role in planning, implementation, and successful delivery. Their commitment to social impact and sustainable development helped drive meaningful change and ensured that the project objectives were achieved for the benefit of the communities involved.
