The Equal_Gen digital campaign addresses topics such as gender identities, consent, gender-based violence, and the promotion of healthy interpersonal relationships. It specifically targets young individuals and adults who work with young people. Our primary goal is to challenge established gender stereotypes and roles, which significantly influence the choices made by young individuals in areas such as education, interpersonal relationships, and employment, thereby perpetuating gender inequality and violence.
