The overall goal of the event was to create awareness about the impact of girls prematurely becoming mothers and rally stakeholders to support and protect young girls and educate the boys on responsible behaviors. This was in response to the skyrocketing cases of teenage pregnancy following the closure of schools due to the covid19 pandemic.
The participants were mainly teenagers and stakeholders like the Refugee welfare council (RWCs) and local council members and community activists.
Through the campaign we reached out to teenagers in the refugee and host communities through group mentorship workshops, we also conducted radio talk shows to reach out to the masses.
