Day 1 of the epic #failacookathon has kicked off with an incredible burst of energy and cooking flair! As I begin this record-breaking journey of many hours, we're not just witnessing a cooking marathon, we're creating history together! #cookathonbyfaila#GuinnessWorldRecord
The League with its partners held a #movie, #poetry and #drama/music night at the #Tamale Senior High School to commemorate this year’s 16 days activism against gender-based violence. This year’s theme is “UNITE! Invest to prevent violence against women and girls”. #EndGBV
SHAINA” was screened as the appropriate movie for the night because of its theme to empower adolescent girls and young women in Africa as well as bring to light violence faced by girls in schools and communities. #endsrgbv#16DaysActivism#EndGBV#Safeschools
The drama club of Tamale Senior High school also presented a music/drama skit on domestic violence highlighting its effects and the need for supportive families and responsive institutions. #day16#16DaysActivism#EndGBV
Glow club girls treated audience to poetry on #GBV and #SRGBV conscientizing their colleagues to find their voices to speak out, build supportive networks, leave unhealthy relationships, seek help and the need to call others to action. #16DaysActivism
Last week we discussed the ways activists can safely deal with advocacy fatigue. Today, we’re asking: what if there’s no way for them to take a break?
Join us tonight on the DWoSO Initiative X Space at 7pmGMT for more.
