Millennium Fellowship Project: Gender based Violence

This project aims to tackle gender-based violence (GBV) among university students by raising awareness, providing support systems, and fostering a culture of inclusivity and respect. University campuses are microcosms of society where students from diverse backgrounds interact, making them crucial spaces for addressing and preventing GBV.
The project seeks to:
Educate: Conduct workshops, seminars, and awareness campaigns to educate students about GBV, its forms, and its impacts. The sessions will include discussions on consent, gender equality, and respectful relationships.
Support: Establish confidential support services for survivors of GBV, including counseling, legal aid, and peer support groups.
Engage: Involve both male and female students, as well as faculty, in dialogue and advocacy to challenge cultural norms and attitudes that perpetuate GBV.
Collaborate: Partner with relevant organizations and institutions to develop policies that protect students and address GBV cases effectively.
Through these efforts, the project aims to create a safer and more supportive environment for all students, empowering them to stand against GBV and foster change both within the university and beyond.
Key Deliverables:
Comprehensive GBV awareness materials tailored to university students.
Regularly scheduled workshops and outreach programs.
A dedicated support center for survivors.
Policy recommendations to improve institutional responses to GBV.
