YEAs in Azerbaijan: Orange the World: Training on Gender-Based Violence and Hate Speech

On 6–7 December, within the framework of the global Orange the World – 16 Days of Activism campaign, the Young European Ambassadors (YEAs) in Azerbaijan organised a two-day training on gender-based violence and gender-based hate speech at the YEAs Office in Baku.

The training brought together young people aged 16–29 to explore human rights principles, different forms of hate speech, and non-violent communication. Through interactive discussions, quizzes, and creative group work, participants actively engaged with the topics by presenting their reflections in newspaper and magazine formats. The programme was further enriched by the contribution of a YEA alumna, who shared her experience and perspectives, fostering meaningful dialogue.

Results Achieved:

• Increased awareness of gender-based violence and hate speech and their impact on individuals and society.
• Equipped participants with tools to identify and respond to hate speech using non-violent communication methods.
• Strengthened understanding of human rights, equality, dignity, and respect.
• Fostered critical thinking and youth participation through interactive and creative learning approaches.

Target Audience:

Young people from Azerbaijan.
