UNESCO Launches Safer Campuses Campaign Against Gender Violence

UNESCO launches campaign to end GBV in higher education institutions targeting East and Southern Africa.

GBV causes short and long-term harm to individuals, institutions and society. UNESCO wants Africa to reach its full educational and health potential; hence, we are working on freeing all students from GBV on campus through our Safer Campuses campaign.

Dr. Remmy Shawa, UNESCO Regional Office for Southern Africa.

The campaign will be officially launched on Tuesday, 26 March 2024 in a high-profile, online event moderated by Janet Mbugua, Kenyan media personality and founder of the Inua Dada Foundation, along with funders, partner organizations, media, GBV activists and campaign ambassadors.
