Youth movement launches #Click4Change campaign to fight gender-based violence 

A NEW youth-led movement is harnessing hackathons, murals, spoken word and social media to tackle gender-based violence in Zimbabwe, with the organisers betting on creativity and digital innovation to reach out to the country’s young generation.

Restless Development Zimbabwe, working with UN Women, on Monday launched #Click4Change to End Gender-Based Violence (GBV), a 10-month initiative that will engage 450 young artists, innovators and digital content creators across Harare, Bulawayo, Manicaland, Mashonaland Central and Masvingo provinces. The campaign aims to reach at least 150,000 people through digital and community-based efforts.
