Today, 17 December 2025, the Young Urban Women Network, with support from Girls Activist Youth Organisation and ActionAid Malawi successfully mobilised traditional leaders, civil society organisations, Women from the Web for Life movement, and members of the Young Urban Women Network for an awareness walk against gender-based violence.
The 4km awareness walk took place from Madzimayera to Campus Lodge, demonstrating collective commitment to raising awareness on issues affecting young women and ending gender-based violence in our communities.
In the afternoon, we held a panel discussion with representatives from civil society, men, women, Web for Life members, and Young Urban Women members. The discussion focused on how gender-based violence is understood in different community contexts and the actions stakeholders are taking, within their capacities, to prevent and respond to GBV.
Together, we continue to raise our voices, engage our communities, and take action for the safety, dignity, and rights of young women.
