Youth groups have a long history of engaging in awareness raising and change-making activities.
The Voices Over Silence campaign to raise awareness about FGM was created as a partnership project between BAWSO and NSPCC Cymru/Wales. BAWSO youth group worked with girls and young women who met fortnightly for over 6 months. Check out their video and read more about their story here.
Children from a local valleys youth group travelled by bus to Cardiff city centre to celebrate 100 years of female suffrage with thousands of others.
They waved their hand-made flags with messages for ‘peace’, ‘freedom’, ‘strength’ and ‘girl power’ to passers by all the way there.
