The Road to 365 Days of Activism - #OnlineConference is an initiative aimed at understanding what has been done, what is happening and what else needs to be done in order to progress in the fight against GBVF and related challenges while ensuring the goal and objective of 365 Days of Activism for No Violence against Women and Children.

The conference aims to invite 67 young people per province for all provinces in South Africa (who will become representatives of Voice It In Action in their provinces), as well as various other entities (people, organisations, businesses and government departments) to attend and participate in the road to 365 days of activism online conference. Various stakeholders will be invited to present their activities aimed at fighting against GBVF and the identified gaps and/or opportunities in fighting against GBVF and related challenges. Voice It In Action plans for 2024 and beyond will also be shared and to enable possible collaborations with stakeholders and partners.

The #OnlineConference will also be an induction program for the 67 representatives to start their work aimed at addressing GBVF and related challenges while being the change agents in their communities. The program is aimed at exposing them to local economic development as young entrepreneurs in life skills, leadership skills and business skills equipping them to sustainable opportunities in their Provinces and as strategic partners to the Municipalities. The representatives will nominate executive structures who will report in writing to Voice It In Action National Executive Office (we will share the consolidated report to the DWYPD), their specific Provinces and Municipalities. The 67 in each province will have 365 days of activities or annual calendar
