End Gender-Based Violence: Together We Can by AIESEC

On the occasion of 16 days of activism, AIESEC in Patan organizes "END GBV: Together We Can" as an initiative to engage 500+ youths with cooperation from 4+ different countries and as many educators as possible. The event aims to promote SDG 5 (Gender Equality), awareness and actions for the prevention and elimination of gender-based violence among school students, teachers, emerging social activists, and youth, and to also advocate for a violence-free school environment. 

AIESEC is the world's largest youth-led organization, present in more than 110 countries and territories, with the vision of achieving "Peace and Fulfillment of Humankind's Potential." We aim to engage each youth in this world through cross-cultural exchanges in the countries where we are present. Our exchanges and engagement activities highlight the youth's role and engagement in global action. We do this by aligning our exchange projects and events with Sustainable Development Goals. 

Throughout the event "END GBV: Together We Can", a marketing campaign for this project would run for a strategic 16 days of activism through digital campaign awareness, training for teachers, an empowerment forum, and a poetry competition. With the theme of 16 days of international activism against gender-based violence this year, "Orange the World: End violence against women now!" AIESEC in Patan, in collaboration with the Good Shepherd International Foundation, presents "End

Gender-Based Violence: Together We Can," co-sponsored by Higher Ground Nepal and Care Nepal, with the goal of raising public awareness about gender violence issues.
