Do not be a Bystander - GBV Special 2022
We are delighted to share with you the first-ever special edition on Gender Based Violence. This marks a significant milestone for us, coming just three months shy of our two-year anniversary.
In this issue we share accounts that highlight those working to improve the world. The magazine chronicles the fight against gender-based violence and the victories won by the many individuals, groups, national, and international organizations that have taken up the cause.
In our capacity as a media platform helmed by young African journalists in the Global South, we believe in the power of a positive narrative, one that we convey through the eyes of our generation.
Our accounts demonstrate that young people are aware of pressing global issues. Through storytelling, we can better reflect on their perspectives on pertinent issues, such as these, and the solutions they offer.
The onus is on us to ensure that those who come after us can look at the future with optimism because we will have laid the groundwork for them to live in a world where their human rights are recognized and respected. In light of this, it is imperative that the world speaks with one voice and mobilizes resources to combat gender-based violence.
Our society is a work in progress, and we believe that through storytelling we can contribute to its growth and improvement.
