An organization that creates safe spaces for young adolescents to speak up on their psycho-social needs with a special focus on intimate partner relationships.
This is part of the team that made last year's programs a huge success. A major highlight was to have peer to peer male counselors to help us incorporate boys into our program.

This year, be the reason someone smiles. Take an active step towards #EndGBV by plugging into communities already doing so, like us.

At a civic level, robbing women of their voice means policies made do not reflect their needs, and therefore, society drags behind since half of the population is not well-represented or catered to.
Ending GBV and #VAWG means a happier and healthier society for everyone.
Who do you think from violence against women and girls?
It's easy to assume men but if you zoom out, then you'll realize that nobody benefits.
Economically, it sets a household back if a woman cannot earn or achieve her highest potential.

JUSTICE - do not wait for karma. You can deliver justice by speaking out against GBV perpetrators. We need to make perpetrators uncomfortable even as we wait on the legal systems to catch up.

ACCOUNTABILITY - if you're not part of the solution then you're definitely part of the problem. You cannot afford to be silent and do nothing.
