In commemoration of the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence that happens every year from November 25 to December 10, Power To You Uganda is excited to bring to you one of the country’s biggest youth festivals, dubbed “Power To Youth Festival 2023,” happening on December 2 in Isingiro district, Western Uganda. The festival has been organized by one of our consortium partners, the Uganda Youth and Adolescent Health Forum (UYAHF), under the theme: 16 Days of Activism: Invest to Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls.

Our overarching goal for this festival is to raise awareness among adolescent girls and young people about the socioeconomic effects of the magnitude of teenage pregnancy, child marriages, and sexual violence problems, including how to prevent and manage these challenges.

• Establish a secure learning platform for learning among adolescents and young people, key stakeholders, and like-minded organizations.
• Foster awareness and agency on violence against the girl child among families, communities, and law enforcement agencies to catalyze positive attitudes and behaviors that foster peace and positive relationships.
