In 2024, as part of our Youth Engagement Project supported by OKEY, we reached over 200,000 young people through initiatives focused on Safe Relationships and Holistic Health.
The year-long activities were launched around November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and continued throughout the 16 Days of Activism. They were further expanded around key dates such as December 1 (World AIDS Day) and December 10 (Human Rights Day), concluding on December 31, 2024.
Throughout the campaign, young people gained knowledge and awareness on topics including gender equality, safe relationships, dating violence, combating violence, and safe sexuality.
