Global Thinking Project
.
Young Brent Foundation (YBF), PLIAS Resettlement, Start Easy and Brent Council have formed a partnership to create a young women's diversionary project which we have named Global Thinking. In line with the United Nation's agenda to make gender equality a reality by 2030 Global Thinking will take action against gender based violence by:
1. Protecting the victim/survivors
2. Prevention of gender-based violence
3. Building a human rights culture
4. Gender in youth work and youth organisations
5. Developing initiatives and strategies addressing gender -based violence
