MWANZA — More than 600 youths in Kwimba District have participated in a community-based initiative aimed at strengthening efforts to prevent violence, address stigma and promote greater awareness of child protection.
The programme, implemented by the non-governmental organisation Amani Girls, is designed to provide young people with essential knowledge and skills to identify cases of abuse, protect themselves from violence and appropriately report incidents within their communities.
The training was conducted in five wards across Kwimba District: Mwandu, Shilembo, Hungumalwa, Bupamwa and Kikubiji. Participants were sensitised on a range of issues considered critical to their health, safety and overall development.
Key areas covered during the sessions included puberty, reproductive health, teenage pregnancy, child protection and measures for preventing violence, abuse and discrimination against children.
