Following the success of last year’s youth camp, Rifka Annisa held another youth camp on March 6-9, in Pop Hotel Yogyakarta. Supervised by the United Nation Trust Find (UNTF), the event donned the theme of “Spread Love, Stay Away from Violence.”

The event had 21 teenage participants of 10 males and 11 females. They came from various cities in Indonesia namely Aceh, Jakarta, Yogyakarta, and Makassar, representing Rifka Annisa’s affiliation such as KKTGA, LBH APIK, and LBHP2I.

The participants looked enthusiastic in each and every session from discussion on stereotype to movement to prevent violence against women. Their real contribution were as shown in the the International Women Days action on March 8, where they voiced their concern with the Women Advocacy Community (Link AP)

“I am really excited about this Youth Camp. I hope that this activity has a follow-up”, commented a participant from Aceh. Another participant from Yogyakarta added, “Through Youth Camp, I understand what gender is. I hope I can share the information and knowledge with my friends.”
