SayPro – A One-Paragraph Statement on Why GBV Awareness Matters to You (100 Words Max)

As part of SayPro’s commitment to fostering meaningful participation and personal growth, we ask each participant to submit a brief, 100-word statement reflecting on the importance of gender-based violence (GBV) awareness in their life or community.

Purpose of the Statement

• Encourages self-reflection and personal connection to the issue of GBV.
• Allows SayPro facilitators to understand participants’ motivations and tailor discussions and activities.
• Fosters a community of shared values and experiences where everyone’s voice is heard.
• Sets the tone for respectful and purposeful engagement during GBV awareness sessions.

This statement is especially valuable in the SayPro Health Care Wellness programme, where GBV awareness is a central focus. Participants’ reflections:

• Help shape inclusive, trauma-informed conversations.
• Inform the design of supportive services and wellness activities.
• Demonstrate personal commitment to ending GBV and supporting survivors.
