Awareness Campaign Against Gender-Based Violence | Brahmapur, Madi-5

On the occasion of Bijaya Dashami (Dashain), Chitwan Sakriya Women’s Foundation (CSWF) organized an awareness programme against gender-based violence in Brahmapur, Madi Municipality–5, under the Samriddhi Project, in collaboration with ActionAid Nepal and with financial support from the Government of Ireland (Irish Aid).

Through interactive activities, including the Snake Game, Dots Game and art, participants explored the meaning and forms of gender-based violence, available reporting mechanisms and support services, the role of communities in preventing violence, and harmful myths and victim-blaming attitudes faced by women and adolescent girls affected by violence.

The programme brought together elected representatives, civil society members and youth groups to strengthen collective action against gender-based violence and promote a safe, inclusive and violence-free society.

As we celebrate Dashain and worship goddesses, we must also recognize the dignity, rights, freedom and humanity of women in our homes and communities. True respect for women means ensuring their safety, equality, choices and freedom from all forms of violence.

This Dashain, let us make a commitment to:

Break the silence surrounding gender-based violence.

Challenge harmful social norms and victim-blaming attitudes.

Stand with survivors and connect them with appropriate support services.

Promote equal rights, dignity and safety for every woman and girl.

🌺 Worshipping goddesses is a tradition. Respecting women as equal human beings is our responsibility.

Together, let us challenge harmful norms, end gender-based violence and build a society where every woman and girl can live with dignity, freedom and respect.

Led by the Madi Youth Group, the event was held at Star Playground, Madi-1, and engaged around 250 community members through creative, interactive, and educational activities. Participants gained knowledge about different forms of GBV, available support services and reporting mechanisms, and the harmful effects of discriminatory social and cultural practices on women and girls.

The Sachetana Bazaar featured awareness activities such as quizzes, darts, true-or-false games, and GBV-themed Snakes and Ladders (Ludo), making learning both engaging and accessible. These activities encouraged open discussions on gender equality, women’s rights, and the important role that young people can play in preventing violence and promoting positive social change.

The campaign reinforced the message that ending GBV requires collective action from individuals, families, communities, and institutions. By empowering youth and community members with knowledge and information, the initiative contributed to strengthening local efforts to advance gender equality and women’s rights in Madi Municipality.

Together, we can break the silence, challenge harmful norms, and build a future where women and girls can live free from violence, discrimination, and fear.
