Learn More About Our Youth & Empowerment Campaign

SPEAK UP is a Youth-specific education service,  aimed to prevent and reduce rape and sexual abuse by raising awareness of GBV behavioural contributors to the adolescent market (predominantly ages between 13 and 26).

This new service initially leverages off an enhanced TEARS Help-at-your-fingertips® tool and continues to provide a 24/7 FREE support and services to victims’. By selecting the option for SPEAK UP, you will gain access to video content that is animated, interactive and topic relevant.
