YE “The Red Bench”

WHAT?

Youth exchange “The Red Bench” is aimed to sensitize young people about violence against women and girls, gender equality and women's empowerment, through arts and creativity.

Millions of women and girls around the world suffer physical or sexual violence every year, many of them at the hands of husbands or partners. Such violence is a violation of human rights and an extreme form of gender-based discrimination. It robs women and girls of their dignity, violates their fundamental rights, damages their health, reduces their productivity and prevents them from achieving their full potential. It also has significant consequences for peace and security and a negative impact on development.
