Twelve teachers from ten schools in the Greater Accra Region have been trained as Gender Advocates, equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to combat Gender-Based Violence (GBV) within their schools. This training is part of the "Young Voices Matter: Empowering Boys and Girls in the Fight Against GBV" project, led by Regina Asamoah, an International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) Impact Awardee. The project is funded by the U.S. Department of State's Educational and Cultural Affairs, with Meridian International Center serving as the implementing partner. The comprehensive training, held at the IPMC Service Center in Adabraka, covered essential aspects of GBV, including understanding its dynamics, recognizing psychological impacts, leveraging technology for intervention, and employing age-appropriate communication strategies.
