 Hello, my name is Sofia Santi and I'm a Generation Change Fellow from Venezuela. I'm also the co-chair of the Youth Advisory Council at the United States Institute of Peace. The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged efforts to mitigate gender violence. So on August 4th, we're pleased to present our first youth talk series event called Addressing Gender-Based Violence in the Post-Covid World. With Generation Change Fellows from Venezuela, Morocco, South Sudan and Afghanistan, we seek to review and discuss how gender violence has changed and how it affects different genders and regions from vulnerable communities to showcasing successful youth strategies on the topic. We look forward to digging deeper into this new global challenge regarding peace and security, so we invite you to follow us on our social media using the hashtag USIPyouthtalks.
