SDG #5 GENDER EQUALITY 

1. As a response to the community, this program was formed because women were isolated in farming homesteads. This program brings women together, which results in increased solidary and less isolation. Through the support in this group, members have created plays on women’s issues which they have presented to the community to try to destigmatize many issues.
