YPM Conducts Economic Justice and GBV Seminars to Empower Youth and Young Mothers
Youth Peacemakers Tanzania (YPM) has successfully conducted economic justice and GBV seminars recently, as part of its ongoing efforts to empower young people and young mothers with knowledge on economic justice, child care, nutrition, and gender issues in Mkinga District.
The first seminar focused on equipping youth with essential knowledge on economic justice and raising their awareness on social issues that affect them. The training helped the youth understand their role in driving change and participating actively in economic and community development.
The second seminars, conducted over two days, were dedicated to young mothers. These sessions addressed key topics such as Gender-Based Violence (GBV), child care, proper nutrition, and economic justice. Participants were trained on how to better care for their children, improve their family health, and become economically independent.
Through these seminars, YPM continues to support the transformation of youth lives by offering relevant knowledge and practical skills to build better futures for themselves and their communities.
