Impact of the Programme

The program capacitated 16  youth leaders to drive the prevention of gender-based violence (GBV) and create safer, more inclusive campuses. Reaching over 1500 young people, these leaders promoted a culture of inclusivity through innovative approaches like performing arts and public engagement. Their efforts also led to improved campus safeguarding policies, with active support from decision-makers and faculty, ensuring a lasting commitment to student safety with a well being informed and intersectional lens.
