Workshop
Gendershops 2.0

TV Show
MeQenet
MeQenet is an hour-long research-based television that looks at diverse issues plaguing Ethiopian society through a gender lens. It focuses on examining different forms of oppression that exist simultaneously because of the person’s identity. For instance, a poor woman faces oppression/ challenges because of her class and gender, not just by her gender or class.
Call Center
Alegnta 6388
Alegnta 6388 is a free-of-charge Gender-Based Violence hotline that provides in-depth counseling and referral services for gender-based violence.
After hosting the #WhatSheWore exhibition Setaweet has been approached by scores of survivors who visit the office, call or send messages over email or Facebook with the desire to discuss their experiences. As the Setaweet team felt ill-equipped to deal with this demand, a team of interns worked to assess the available medical, legal, and psycho-social support services. The team learned that there is a limited resources to help sexual violence survivors in Addis Ababa.
