| Project Synopsis: Challenge/Opportunity | Our main focus: Structural development of the African Grassroot informal economy, ending harmful traditional practices and general abusive violence against women, against women, and the intersectionality of the SDG, 2063 Agenda and the role of Culture.
The degree of exposure and cultural background of a person can affect how they react to differences in gender, ethnicity, race, class, creed, and nation. Group perspectives can also depend on national origin, race, ethnicity, gender, class, or other factors. This brings us to the intersectionality of collective human challenges. Some of these challenges are historical, contemporary, and futuristic in nature. As a result, we make a valiant effort in research and analysis to theorize, propose, and practicalize the most sustainable solution for the challenge. Harmony at the intersectionality, in our opinion, is both achievable and necessary, therefore, we emphasize intercultural harmony. Gender harmony, which serves as a vehicle for males to support women's causes, is required to achieve gender equality and is critical for a peaceful and forward-thinking society. The opportunity cost of violence against women and underrepresentation is too high for every family, community, society, and nation in the world. This is the main idea behind the Anti Violence Against Women Act—to eliminate harm and to create a society that is more equitable, inclusive, and just. By eliminating harmful practices in gender and culture, the meaning of common challenges will shift from problems to opportunities, and the healing process will begin. African Views operates a research and development initiatives organization that works on a variety of issues related to the diversity, complexity, and alliances of African cultural structures and intelligences around the world. The organization's mission is to present the full tapestry of collective global African values and the intersectionality of current challenges and potential opportunities towards achieving sustainable solutions for congruence, harmony, and peace in the African world and African contributions to all humanity. African Views works in partnership with several institutions and has branches across the world as well as children and Student Chapters in various academic institutions across the world. African Views runs an interdisciplinary research and advocacy institute that faces Africans' past, present, and future challenges. The organization was formed to seek new ways to solve the problems of intersectionality and existentialism, which it does by combining innovative modern ideas with ancient knowledge and ageless wisdom that have been passed down for generations. |
| Project Synopsis: Activities/Actions Required | We have identified three concrete steps that we are actively working on. The action required are research, analysis, development of mobile and web based data acquisition and interactive databases platforms. First: AVAWA is an acronym for "Anti Violence Against Women Act" or "Africa’s Violence Against Women’s Act." AVAWA has four main components, which consist of the AVAWA bill, AVAWA Network and Association, and the AVAWA (PINK Africa) Award. The AVAWA components are inextricably linked, as part and parcel of means and ways of achieving the same end. The components are designed to provide advocacy, education, and awareness, gender sensitive legislation, mobilization, access to justice, capacity building for law enforcement and judicial officers, increasing gender equality in political parties, emergency response and care, data collection and analysis, and service provider directory system.
The AVAWA (the law) is a bill designed to make sure that a nation adopts and maintains a comprehensive plan for how it recognizes the challenges faced by its women and how it intends to address the issues in a manner that is consistent with the provisions made for women in its own constitution. The AVAWA Network is a database of women's needs service providers made available in both digital and printed formats. The AVAWA network directory system is necessary for identifying and mapping out the resources accessible to communities and locating any potential service gaps. The listing entails various services offered by the ministry of women, CSOs, education centers, women business and financial solutions, and women's health clinics. The AVAWA Network executives consists of partner organizations—independent, public, and private institutions—that are ensuring, monitoring, and evaluating the proper implementation of the Act's statutes. The AVAWA Associations are the beneficiaries of the programs, and they serve as the best proxies for monitoring and evaluation of AVAWA’s effectiveness. These are local community-based women's groups, such as the African Views Association for Women's Advancement (founded in 2013). Grassroots associations of women are necessary and encouraged to be formed locally. This group consists of community women, rural women, market women, trade groups, cooperatives, and girls' associations, including the girls' brigade and scouts. They ensure that the integrity of the AVAWA initiatives is properly implemented for the intended beneficiaries; these associations are simply called AVAWA (Associations on Violence Against Women’s Act). Secondly: Establish the Alliance of African Royal Kingdoms (IGO) and the Royal Institute of Global African Cultures and Traditions ( An Independent International smart city with heritage park and the secretariat of the ARK). Thirdly: Establish the African Royal Chamber of Commerce that is inclusive and accessible to the informal sector and uncategorized skills and trades. |
| Project Synopsis: Expected Results | Much of the primary works have been done. The next steps are to establish an accessible self-registration database app. Subscription and Investment promotion
The measurable results: 1.) The provision of a framework for inclusive and interactive public, private, independent, and academic database of women’s services providers. This list already exists in silos. The existence of such a a consolidated, inclusive, well collated directory of services and providers in various localities will improve the access and welfare of women. 2.) The provision of a framework for inclusive and interactive database of Royal African Kingdoms will ensure proper documentation of the elusive information and mapping of the African Royal Kingdoms. 3.) The provision of a framework for inclusive and interactive African Royal Chamber of Commerce database will ensure the proper documentation of skills and trades at the grassroot level and reform the informal sector. |
