Achieving sustainable activism in today’s world! #WAVEofChange

No More Violence Against Women; the podcast of the WAVE Network.

In this podcast, WAVE voices are amplified to give insight on topics such as sexualised violence, online violence, femicides, violence against women with disabilities, youth activism, important legislation such as the Istanbul Convention, and more to highlight the different forms and dimensions of violence against women and girls.If you ever ask yourself how you can change the world; just look in the mirror – it starts with YOU! In this episode, we are discussing the important role of civil society and community to campaigning to end gender-based violence, advocating for women´s rights and overall effectively promoting human rights. We are sharing creative campaigning and advocacy methods to cultivate stronger activism and support young activists in achieving sustainable activism in today’s world.

Campaigning to end gender-based violence against women and girls and advocate for women´s rights is a long-term effort that requires structure and innovation. Different campaigning and advocacy tactics have been used for decades to promote women`s and LGBTQI+ rights. However, as new challenges to human rights emerge, new tactics also are needed. On 10 November, the International Human Rights Day, WAVE launches a Youth Campaigning toolkit, which addresses the inner and outer sides of stronger activism for effective advocacy & campaigning. Two of the four authors of the toolkit Charlotte Cramer and Eliana Jimeno alongside WAVE Communications Coordinator Beverly Mtui sit down and share about campaigning, activism, and of course, this essential toolkit.
