Kathmandu, Nepal — In a bid to raise awareness and combat gender-based violence, Samriddhi Foundation Nepal organized a significant event at Nepal Megha College, Kathmandu, on the occasion of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. The program was aimed at educating and empowering students and the broader school community to take a stand against violence towards women.
The highlight of the event was the screening of a powerful short film that depicted the harsh realities and consequences of violence against women. The film served as an educational tool, sparking conversations and reflections among the attendees about the pervasive issue of gender-based violence.
Following the film, an interactive session was held where students courageously shared their personal experiences and insights related to the topic. This open forum allowed participants to express their thoughts, discuss preventive measures, and propose actionable steps to create a safer environment for women.
Many students made a firm commitment to raise their voices against any form of violence against women. Their pledges highlighted a collective resolve to challenge and change the societal norms that perpetuate such violence.
The motive behind organizing this impactful program, as stated by the Samriddhi Foundation Nepal, was to foster a culture of zero tolerance towards violence against women. By educating young minds and encouraging them to take proactive steps, the foundation aims to create a ripple effect that will lead to a safer and more equitable society.
The event concluded with a renewed sense of purpose among the attendees, who left with a deeper understanding of the importance of standing against gender-based violence and a commitment to be active agents of change in their communities.
