Breaking the cycle of Gender Based Violence #StartsWithYou
#StartsWithYou is our effort to celebrate the unsung heroes, survivors of Gender Based Violence, their struggles of coming out of it and also bravely fighting back to prevent it. Living your life with dignity, being free to decide about yourself and your future, or simply feeling safe while walking on the streets: these are all basic human rights that gender-based violence constantly takes away from millions of people around the world. We are still living in a world where people think such behaviour is ok. Well, we are not okay with it and we believe, so are all of you who will join us in this campaign. With this campaign we are urging you to join the movement to speak up against Gender Based Violence and actively intervene to put an end to it because each one of us has the power to empower each other.
