Their findings highlighted the severe lack of resources available for survivors of sexual violence in Addis Ababa, leading to the creation of Alegnta 6388 as a much-needed support system. The Alegnta Hotline was discontinued by a decision communicated to Setaweet Movement in February 2025. While we regret the unfortunate decision of @ethio_telecom, we remain committed to advocating for GBV response services and will continue supporting survivors through other mediums. Thank you to everyone who supported and trusted Alegnta. #AlegntaHotline #MentalHealthMatters #EndGBV #SupportSurvivors #GenderJustice @feministfront

Important Announcement: Alegnta Hotline Service Discontinued We are deeply saddened to announce that the Alegnta 6388 Hotline, run by Setaweet Movement since 2019, has been discontinued. Alegnta 6388 was a free-of-charge gender-based violence hotline that provided in-depth counseling and referral services for survivors. Since its launch in January 2019, the hotline has supported thousands of survivors of gender-based violence, domestic abuse, and individuals struggling with depression and other mental health challenges. Our anonymous and confidential service operated Monday to Saturday, ensuring accessibility for those in need. The Alegnta Hotline was born out of necessity—after hosting the #WhatSheWore exhibition, Setaweet was approached by scores of survivors who visited the office, called, or reached out via email and Facebook seeking support. Realizing the urgent demand for medical, legal, and psychosocial assistance, our team worked to assess existing services.
