Gender-Based Violence

Our activity, which was organized by a local committee and had nation-wide participation, has sought to accurately explain and discuss the status of women in the society, roles that have burdened with the traditions and women’s health and rights. We aimed to increase the participants (mainly medical students) awareness and raise our voice in every platform by making everybody as aware as possible.

Over the two days 6 guests specialising in different areas talked about the current situation and what we can do to empower women. Between the session, training helped the participants actively discuss the topics. By handing out materials and giving tasks to participants we hoped to create and maintain a sustainable environment for discussing such sensitive topics, not only in such conferences but in every platform.

The main idea of the program is to bring together the Health personnel, policy makers, lawyers, police, public health experts, forensic experts and discuss the issues of sexual assault and workplace violence through a Panel Discussion and help the medical students

to get a general idea and know where to approach if they or their patients find themselves in similar situation. It is also to help medical students get in touch with their literary sides and spread the message in a creative manner through Poems and Stories.
