This year’s edition of the WAVE Fempower Magazine
focuses on the pervasive impact of institutional violence
on women and girls, the different forms in which it manifests, and the key role women’s specialist services have
in denouncing and undoing this type of violence. A total of
nine articles were submitted to us by our WAVE members,
each of these shedding light from different angles on this
form of oppression and abuse of power that limit women
& girls’ access to rights while at the same time highlighting the experiences, efforts, and engagement of women’s
specialist services to protect and support survivors affected by institutional violence.
