everyday due to poverty

Religious misinterpretation, misuse of the media, economic deprivation and the proximity to pull and push factors, are some of the reasons the youth cited as the drivers of radicalisation towards violent extremism.

This discussion was held during a youth-led panel at the 3rd International Conference on Religious Extremism and Violence in Africa, held recently in Nairobi. The conference was organised by the Hekima Institute of Peace Studies and International Relations-HIPSIR in partnership with the Norwegian Church Aid - Eastern Africa Regional Peace Programme.

Look at the amazing artwork they came up with!

Gender based violence is indeed one social challenge in most societies.
The Action! Youth seminar therefore is geared to spur the youth leaders to mentor the next generation of young leaders to advocate and take action towards reducing, preventing and ending Gender Based Violence
