This panel followed a series of youth sensitization sessions and surveys for over 300 youths countrywide, in addition to the 90+ in-person participants.

As we continue to advocate for the eradication of violence in all its forms throughout the 16 Days of Activism and beyond, join us in applauding the youths at the forefront of this event:
