A/HRC/41/3 E/CN.6/2019/7 with the National Coalition of Women and UN-Women, also played an important role in advocating for the adoption of the new Comprehensive Law for the Prevention and Eradication of Violence against Women, which was approved by the Ecuadorian Parliament in January 2018. 28. With trust fund support, the Association Ennakhil is implementing a project in the Marrakech Safi region, considered one of the poorest regions of Morocco. The project is aimed at bringing about positive change in the lives of women and girls between 10 and 19 years of age by engaging with members of civil society and faith based organizations, as well as with men and boys. Specifically, the project is aimed at improving the Government’s policy on gender-based violence in schools and increasing the understanding of gender-based violence among young boys and girls. 29. In Peru, the organization Red nacional de promoción de la mujer is implementing a project in the regions of Ayacucho and Huánuco aimed at reducing gender-based violence against older women who were victims of conflict -related violence in the 1980s and 1990s. The project has empowered more than 487 women, of whom 44 per cent were over 60 years of age, by increasing their awareness of their rights. Through peer-to-peer exchange workshops, the grantee reached more than 210 older women from various organizations and 286 men and other women, including students and youth groups. The grantee adopted a holistic approach to developing participatory needs assessments, awareness-raising and training workshops and communications campaigns, all focusing on rights, interculturality, gender and aging. The project was also aimed at raising awareness among local officials and advocating for gender- and age-sensitive public policies. As a direct result of the project’s implementation, older women are now part of community surveillance committees and the municipalities’ round table on poverty reduction. In addition, four emblematic cases of violations of women ’s rights were reviewed and, to date, one case has been decided in favour of the survivor; the remaining three are pending decisions. The grantee has also been able to mobilize additional resources to continue to implement some of the core areas of this project beyond the life of the trust fund grant. IV. Leaving no one behind 30. Grants have continued to be awarded to projects that embody the princ iple of leaving no one behind, reflecting the universal inclusiveness of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. For example, five new projects support the needs of women and girls who are survivors of violence and have been forcibly displaced – as refugees or as internally displaced people – in the context of humanitarian crises, and nine support projects aimed at preventing and ending violence against women and girls with disabilities. The trust fund is investing more than $23 million to end violence against underserved and marginalized women and girls to ensure that no one is left behind. Examples of the work of grantees in this area are provided below. A. Responding to humanitarian crises 31. Since 2017, the trust fund has supported projects un der a special funding window aimed at preventing and ending violence against women and girls in the context of the forced displacement and refugee crises. Priority has been given to grass-roots women’s organizations working towards mid- to long-term interventions. By focusing on longer-term needs and finding durable solutions, the trust fund has sought to contribute to bridging the humanitarian and development divide and to encourage localization. 8/16 18-21716
