W/ Soccer Without Borders, we visited 4 primary schools in Kahama, Tanzania and heard the impassioned voices of young boys cry out 'innanza na mimi,' or 'it begins with me,' a proud expression of their commitment to ending gender-based violence.  #CBIM @pacttanzania USAIDTanzania

“While exposure to domestic violence is associated with many challenging outcomes for children, learning a child has witnessed domestic violence does not inherently warrant a report to child protective services.' We agree! Thank you ACF for your Information Memorandum on DV.

1) to prevent gender-based violence
2) promote healthy relationships
3) increase intentions to intervene when abuse takes place
