In order to highlight and improve the fight against violence against women and children, the Togolese associations work closely with the fiosrons, literally “chief’s wives”. The influence they have on their husbands allows them to improve the conditions of women and children who are victims of violence, within their community.
How does the mobilization of these women of “powerful men” make it possible to reduce violence against women? What support for women victims of violence? How to fight against impunity?
