#16DaysOfActivism

This year’s theme reminds us that violence has moved online, fuelled by harmful masculinities and conflict. As the campaign ends, the work continues: expose digital GBV, centre survivors, and engage men as allies.

Today in Rabat-Morocco, young stakeholders reviewed the Youth-Friendly AUTJP. A powerful reminder that when youth are given space to lead, they lead with vision and purpose.

Grateful to all who contributed to this process.
