This exciting new workshop was designed and developed by founder and CEO, Debi Steven. Debi worked very closely with young people in South Africa, India and the United Kingdom, listening to their questions, concerns and lived experiences, focusing particularly on how the patriarchy and unhealthy masculinity impacts all of our lives.
What I've learnt from teaching these programmes is that self-love is very important because that led me to believe in myself and knowing I am worthy and I deserve better. At first I had a low self-esteem but now I have self-confidence because I believe that I am worthy and deserve all the good things in life.
At the end of the 2023 delivery cycle in Diepsloot, Gauteng, educators, HOD’s and school principals were asked to share their impressions of the Action Breaks Silence Primary School Program end VAWG and the impact the program is having in their schools.
