Caritas Zambia Supports Youth-led Efforts to Prevent Gender-based Violence in Seven Districts

Caritas Zambia is training youth leaders in seven districts of the Archdiocese of Kasama to prevent gender-based violence. The organization stated on October 26 that the program provides participants with tools to engage local authorities and strengthen social accountability within their communities.

Supported by the United Nations Population Fund Zambia, the initiative involves youth-led groups and community-based organizations. Participants use peer-to-peer learning and practical tools to interact with local leaders responsible for addressing community concerns and service delivery. The program also supports local awareness efforts regarding gender-based violence.
