With this intention, they have utilized the 19 Days of Activism as a way to spread awareness of violence and sexual abuse of children and youth. By repetitive visits to a dozen schools, the organization successfully reached about 12,300 youths and 50 educators. During these visits, the staff worked to raise awareness of these issues and as a result, learned that many of the students, primarily girls, were victims of sexual and physical abuse. Throughout the campaign, the daily newspaper LUnion, the Radio Television Nazareth, and Tle Africa, all followed the events organized by the ONG Samba Mwanas. The Department of Social Affairs also supported the campaign. A powerful video is available on Youtube and on the WWSF YouthEngage.com homepage, reminding governments and civil society of the rights of the child and the responsibility to create a culture of prevention of violence.
