The Change-Makers: A Young Activist Toolkit for Ending Violence against Women and Girls

The young men and women who took part at the 2012 UNiTE Youth Forum committed to launch the UNiTE Youth Network, a diverse group with ambitious ideas to serve as role models to their peers and inspire their communities to do more to end violence against women and girls. Peer education can be an effective tool to ensure social change as young people are often better equipped to understand the feelings, thoughts and experiences of other young people.

This is why the Asia-Pacific UNiTE Campaign secretariat, together with a group of Asia Pacific regional members of the UNiTE Youth Network, developed this regionally focused, youth-friendly training manual for peer educators to help facilitate discussions on gender equality, violence against women, healthy relationships and positive activism.
