Amidst the 16 Days of Activism, the renowned Awping Dancer took a powerful stand on the streets of the Thies region in Senegal. With captivating artistry, the performance aimed to shine a spotlight on the pressing issue of ending violence against adolescent girls and young women within the community.
Under the attentive guidance and support of the Power to You(th) Senegal team, Awping brought this critical message to life during the regional fair held in Thies. Their contemporary art piece resonated profoundly, stirring awareness and conversations surrounding the need for immediate action and solidarity against gender-based violence.
Through this impactful collaboration, the fusion of artistic expression and advocacy became a poignant tool, conveying a message of empowerment and the urgency for change within the Thies community.
