Take Action!
 
Join the GBV Prevention Network’s first 2008 campaign and be an active media watch dog in your country. The Campaign enables you to raise your voice about positive and negative coverage on GBV in our region. Members will send a Red Postcard to protest insensitive GBV reporting and hold media houses to account. Members will also send a Green Postcard applauding quality coverage.
Both postcards have a space for the Network member to put their contacts in case the media house would like to contact them
and learn more about GBV prevention.
The Network will document, publish and disseminate widely the Media Watch Campaign activities of its members please send us updates of your campaign for publication. All campaign material was mailed to members late April. Promote ethical reporting on women and GBV in our region! Actively participate in the Media Watch Campaign!

Speakers Events! As a new initiative to the exchange and learning component of the Network, we will organize Speaker Events. These will be brief events (2 hour / half-day / one day – depending on availability) gatherings where resource persons can engage Network members of a particular country to create awareness or enhance skills on various GBV prevention issues.
We welcome you to become a Resource Person! If you know you will be traveling to one of the member countries in the Horn, East or Southern Africa this year and are willing to devote a few hours to Network members please contact Jean at: info@preventgbvafrica.org
We will then work with member organizations in that country to set up a Speakers Event where members will discuss, present, and engage with each other on any relevant GBV issue.
