Topics such as gender stereotypes, child rights, domestic violence, women’s trafficking, and gender justice were highlighted through charts, posters, and performing arts by student volunteers.
ICC members also conducted a gender survey among local women using questionnaires and emphasised the importance of equal care and attention for children, regardless of gender, while ensuring age-appropriate behaviour.
