Abstract

My project is about creating an educational workshop with the help of my non-profit organization ‘Voices Against Violence’ back in Dhaka, Bangladesh. This workshop will target to raise awareness about gender equality and gender-based violence among the children living in financially underprivileged communities in Dhaka. It will specifically target 5th to 8th-grade students studying in NGO and government-based schools that are located in those communities. The workshop will be interactive and audio-visual in nature. It will be conducted by peer educators who will be trained in the curriculum. There are three main goals to be achieved through this workshop, which are: teaching the concept, importance, and practice of gender equality, developing a clear understanding of consent, and helping them to understand what gender-based violence is and how to identify and report it.
