Youth Connect Circle

As part of our on-going project on sexual gender-based violence, a Youth Connect Circle was established to raise awareness and advocate against sexual gender-based violence. Youth Connect Circle presents a strong potential platform for youths to be mobilised as agents of change as they are more receptive, vocal and have the willingness to act. This potential needs to be tapped, harnessed and sustained to ensure continued improved community protection.
