South African Survivor Mobilisation

 

Equipping Lived Experience leaders with the knowledge and tools to actively advocate against the implementation of full decriminalisation in South Africa. These sessions emphasize Survivor leaders' unique role in shaping policy, fostering advocacy, and driving community-level change.

​

These training sessions successfully empowered Lived Experience leaders to understand and amplify their role in preventing full decriminalisation in South Africa. Future sessions will focus on expanding regional relevance and maintaining consistent engagement to sustain momentum in advocacy efforts.
