CVA’s pick of the month

Malawi. Taima (Here We Stand)
Using a TVET institution as the setting, Robert Chiwamba, STEP ambassador has launched Taima (Here We Stand) to call on all of Malawi to end gender based violence. The poem Taima (Here We Stand) calls on all people to take a stand against Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and particularly for men to be role models as advocates for the elimination of GBV. The poem launch was one of the many important activities to mark 16 days of activism against gender based violence. The video is in the local language Chichewa but with English sub-titles.
