Millennium Fellowship Project: THE RESOLUTE

My project is about ending gender based violence at my institution and helping the survivors deal with the trauma.I will host campaigns to educate all students about gender based violence and its negative impact that is stifling all forms of growth in students then i will host imtimate sessions for survivors to open up and be helped.I plan to work with the institution's counsellors in this support group and i will name the support group Healing minds.I have been doing a bit of art therapy since my ordeal and i hope to host one art therapy session for the survivors as well.
