Description

This commission attempts to respond to what we are hearing in a creative, impactful, practical and inclusive manner.

Local and national evidence identifies VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) as a significant issue for young people. 182 young women raised concerns about gender-based violence, sexism and harassment. 158 young women identified feeling at risk from boys and men because of their gender. Through the research, we read that 51% of all girls aged 13 to 18 received unwanted sexual comments, with 33% aged 13 and 14. 29%...revealed they first experienced sexual harassment when they were just 11 to 13 years old Plan International carried out a survey in 2023 which brought attention to the number of young women and girls (over 3 quarters of those surveyed) who avoid activities and change their behaviours during summer to reduce unwanted sexual attention. Scope of the Programme The whole programme will involve 3 aspects: • Development and delivery of street-based performances • Delivery of Bystander Intervention Training in communities • Communications Campaign to strengthen message and increase reach. The commission of a Theatre group is to take a lead role in the performance, from research & development through to delivery and evaluation.
