Our Behind the Lens project, a powerful collaboration with Bulawayo-based photographer Thembelihle Tambara, seeks to illuminate the hidden tales of School-Related Gender-Based Violence (SRGBV) and its impact on young womn and girls.
Why It Matters:
Addressing school-related violence is not just a goal; it is a necessity for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Specifically, SDG 4 calls for inclusive, quality education, and SDG 16 seeks peaceful and inclusive societies. The Behind the Lens strives to contribute to these global objectives.
Focus on #HerStory:
Our lens zooms in on the experiences of young womn and girls, especially those in informal and rural settings. These are stories often overshadowed but crucial in the collective effort to break the cycle of violence and foster safer learning environments.
Visual Storytelling for Change:
The project, harnesses the power of visual storytelling to amplify voices shrouded in shadows. Each image is a call for collective action, a plea to make a difference in the lives of those affected by SRGBV.
We all have a role to play in contributing to a safer, more inclusive world for young womn and girls.
