Peaceful communities are not built by chance. They are built by ordinary women and men who choose to challenge violence, promote respect, and inspire others to do the same. Every trained community leader becomes a beacon of hope, protecting families and shaping a better future for the next generation.
MGCSP Builds Community Champions to Prevent Gender-Based Violence
The Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MGCSP), through Component 1A of the Liberia Women Empowerment Project, successfully conducted the Second Batch of the SASA! Awareness Phase II Training at the Nylie Multipurpose Building in Tubmanburg, Bomi County.
The training brought together 45 dedicated SASA! community champions, – 23 Community-Based Activists (CBAs) and 22 Community-Based Leaders (CBLs), with an almost equal representation of 23 women and 22 men committed to driving lasting social change.
Participants strengthened their capacity to implement the SASA! approach, equipping them with practical skills to transform harmful social norms, prevent gender-based violence, mobilize their communities, and foster relationships rooted in equality, dignity, and mutual respect.
Every trained activist is another voice against violence. Every empowered leader is another step toward safer homes. Every transformed community brings Liberia closer to a future where women and girls can live free from fear and reach their full potential.
Together, we are not just changing attitudes; we are building peaceful, resilient, and empowered communities.
