About Raised Voices: Speaking Up About Gender-Based Violence
The testing project will bring together post-secondary students and Elders from Lusaka, Zambia and First Nations, Metis and Inuit youth and Elders from Canada. They will be engaged in a community-led discussion and storytelling initiative around gender-based violence (GBV), through a perspective that is both global and local. This empowers people, particularly youth, to examine their own cultural contexts and builds confidence in solutions that are informed by and rooted in Indigenous and traditional knowledge and culture.

Engaging Male Voices in GBV
Gender-based violence (GBV) will not end without the involvement of men and boys. In this conversation, students, elders, and community leaders from Zambia and Canada reflect on why men must be included—not only because they are often the perpetrators, but also because they play a vital role in reshaping attitudes for the next generation. The discussion highlights how silence equals complicity, how cultural expectations of “strength” harm both men and women, and why safe spaces are essential for boys and men to open up about their own experiences. Speakers stress that theory alone is not enough—change requires practice, consistent education, and role models who demonstrate respect in everyday life. From classrooms to community gatherings, the message is clear: tackling GBV is everyone’s responsibility, and involving men and boys is key to building safer, more equitable societies.
