Teenz Alive SA hosted its GBV Awareness Campaign on Saturday 24 May at Coral Place Flats. According to Carol Koopman, its vice-chairperson, the organisation found out that many people still didn’t know what gender-based violence (GBV) stands for. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We still have people who think GBV is only domestic abuse,” she pointed out. Teenz Alive SA hosts such a campaign every second or third month to educate the masses and get people talking about GBV, said Koopman. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We play a role in this fight against GBV, but we want people to understand their responsibility to help curb this cancer we have in our community. \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Currently, we’re focusing on the flats as there’s always a negative narrative attached to the residents that live there.” Koopman said once mindsets there are intervened in the Teenz Alive SA team will move into other areas in around Atlantis. “We are willing to go wherever we’re invited to help spread the word against gender-based violence (GBV).” \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said the youth-based organisation is performance-based, but also spreads awareness through other means, means through which it can reach the youth of Atlantis and its surrounding areas.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We invite young people of Atlantis and its surrounding areas to showcase the talents they have as well as everyone else, both young and old, to use their talents to contribute towards this campaign by putting forward their testimonies to help shape the future of others, particularly those who are willing to listen.\r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We don’t always have funds to hand food out, since sponsors of food aren’t always forthcoming.” \r<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, we push forward with the events and she thanked the Coral place flat committee for sponsoring the food on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
