How we make it happen
"Voices of Peace" also aims to transform harmful gender norms deeply rooted in these communities by launching a multi-platform behavior change communication campaign. This campaign incorporates radio segments, social media content (including sign language videos), community dialogues, and podcasts to reach over 5,000 residents, fostering dialogue and awareness on violence prevention and gender equality. The establishment of peer support and advocacy groups will provide ongoing emotional and
practical assistance for survivors while nurturing solidarity and resilience among participants.
A key pillar of the project is collaboration with local security actors and community leaders to develop a gender-responsive understanding of peace and crisis intervention, ensuring that the security sector is better equipped to support young women and survivors in ways that are respectful, sensitive, and effective. Two youth-led policy advocacy forums will empower participants to articulate their perspectives to policymakers and influence local reforms, strengthening the foundations for inclusive peacebuilding.
The project’s digital dimension includes designing an accessible, user-friendly website that hosts project information, resources, and sign language content, and a virtual chat room that provides confidential survivor support, moderated by trained focal points. These spaces extend the project's reach, providing safe, accessible avenues for assistance beyond physical community gatherings.
