Pathways to empowerment in Gender-Based Violence prevention creates learning opportunities and the conditions for empowerment through awareness-raising interventions to strengthen the capacity, knowl¬edge, skills and attitudes of the youth workers who are gender diversity and LGBTIQ+ rights advocates, as a means to meet their learning needs in a sustainable manner, to effectively tackle GBV.
The project focuses on primary prevention; changing social norms to end tolerance of the different forms of prejudices, stereotypes or the behaviours that encourage or minimise Gender-Based Violence. If young people, potential victims, survivors or perpetrators of GBV are educated on the actual harm GBV causes, they can make better decisions to become leaders among their peers in preventing GBV.
