Gender Equality & GBV Prevention Programme

The Gender Equality & Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Prevention Programme is designed to promote respect, equality, and safety for all individuals by addressing harmful gender norms and preventing violence within communities.

This programme empowers young people with the knowledge, values, and skills needed to challenge inequality, build healthy relationships, and become advocates for safe and inclusive environments. We work to create a culture where dignity, respect, and equal opportunity are upheld for everyone.

Why This Programme Matters

Gender inequality and gender-based violence remain major challenges affecting individuals, families, and communities. Many young people grow up exposed to harmful beliefs, discrimination, or violence without the tools to question or change these patterns.

This programme seeks to:

• Challenge harmful gender stereotypes and norms

• Promote respect, equality, and human dignity

• Prevent different forms of gender-based violence

• Encourage positive behavior change among young people

• Support safer communities for all

Our Approach

Programme delivery includes:

• Interactive Workshops – Exploring gender roles, power dynamics, and equality

• Safe Dialogue Spaces – Encouraging open discussions on sensitive issues
