About Us

This project is coordinated by the British Council South Africa in partnership with the University of the North (Limpopo Province), University of Fort Hare (Eastern Cape) and Crisp (KwaZulu Natal). The project is a provincial initiative to respond to violence against girls and young women through, among other initiatives, the development of this database of service providers, resources and research.

Women'sNet was contracted by the British Council to assist in the collection of data, design the website and design and populate the database. We have used Action Applications software.

Structure of the Database
Information on the database is divided into three main sections:

  • Service providers: providing a service to either organisations and the non-profit sector and/or to girls and youth directly
  • Financial Resources: providers of financial assistance to civil society organisations
  • Research: published research on girls and young women and related to gender violence

These sections are linked from icons at the top of this page. For the purposes of this project, we define girls and young women as being between the ages of 6 to 18.

Information Collection
Information collection started in October/November 2002 and is on-going. Partners collected information using a questionnaire faxed and emailed to organisations around the country. Data is entered into the database by Women'sNet.
