It was wonderful to collaborate with you for Rubaroo's flagship event, Rubaroo with Gender 2024! We truly value your partnership and support for this event and for the years we’ve worked together to create a safe and empowering community for young people across the city.

Rubaroo with Gender takes place annually on December 10th, coinciding with International Human Rights Day. The campaign encourages everyone to contribute to ending violence against women, girls and marginalised communities, support women’s rights activists, and resist any rollback of women’s and marginalised communities rights. It also provides a platform for youth participants to showcase their own campaigns.

This year, the event was facilitated by youth as part of the Emerging Leaders Programme. It featured an open space led by Rubaroo with various self-facilitated stalls. Activities included exploring safe and unsafe spaces related to gender, self-love exercises, quizzes to challenge existing notions of gender roles, poetry recitations, dance performances, and more.
