Its advocacy also extends beyond the digital realm, as the team organises marches, protests and drives to collect essentials like clothing and pepper spray.
The group’s primary goal is to foster a transformative change in the way society perceives gender-based violence. They believe that education is the cornerstone of progress, aiming to facilitate a process of unlearning and relearning social morality.
