KA210 ADU - SheConnects: Empowering Women Through Enhanced Social Services

Women often face barriers when accessing social services, ranging from limited availability to insufficient customization for their needs. SheConnects aims to reimagine and improve social services for women by integrating digital solutions, community-driven innovation, and a gender-sensitive approach. The project empowers women to co-create services that address their unique challenges, fostering a supportive and inclusive system.

Social services often fall short of addressing women’s unique challenges. SheConnects ensures that these systems evolve to meet women’s needs through innovative, inclusive, and collaborative approaches. By combining technology, policy, and grassroots participation, the project builds a future where women are not just recipients of services but active contributors to their design and delivery.
