Stand to End Rape (Ster) Initiative

we are a youth-led not-for-profit organization advocating for the promotion of sexual reproductive health rights (shrh) and speaking against sexual violence. we advocate for rape survivors who can’t speak about their ordeal due to stigmatization. our belief is that an enlightened community will see the need to end rape and victim blaming once and for all. this belief is expressed through our use of new media as a tool for debunking misconceptions around sexual violence and creating awareness of the ills of rape culture in the society. as recognition for our work, ster initiative at the social media awards africa, which held on january 24th 2015, won an award for the best use of social media by a not-for-profit in africa. our goal is to create a society where women and men, girls and boys no longer have to live in fear of rape and all forms of sexual violence. as a means of achieving this goal, ster initiative engages in projects/community outreaches and provides free self-defence class
