YWCAA in partnership with the African Womens Development Fund conducted a project to commemorate the 16 Days of Activism Against GBV in 2016 that aimed at creating safe spaces for young and marginalized women to build a community for discussion of issues of bodily integrity, autonomy and freedom from violence using communication technology. Kibagare informal settlement where the project was based is notorious for GBV cases. YWCAA has worked within this community for over ten years addressing issues related with HIV, GBV, SRHRs, youth economic empowerment, drug and substance abuse among other areas. The organization is part of the Westlands Sub-County GBV Working Group which is a platform for sharing information on GBV and area security related matters. The project targeted 20 marginalized young women who were brought together through the social media in to a forum for learning and for sharing information , leading to knowledge and creation of stronger networks of young women GBV community advocates. The 20 marginalized young women and girls trained to be change agents,and to reach out to more young women in the same category, including those in the 20 households. They gained psychosocial support from the GBV advocates and counselors whom they were connected to through the Westlands online GBV working group and other forums.
