Organizations like ours need time and money for these types of initiatives.
We chose to invest in this program because it's such an important issue. We have plans for other projects. Another witness brought up the idea of raising awareness among younger children, and we agree with that. We are actually thinking about a new platform to do just that. Instead of focusing on violence prevention, we plan to promote equality-based relationships and help young people define who they want to be.
Society focuses on what they want to do in life, what type of job they want. They aren't asked what type of boyfriend or girlfriend they want to be or what they want to be like as a person. The idea is to help young people define who they want to be, something society doesn't do enough of.
