"Working in partnership with GPAN has been great! Georgia & Emily both bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and professionalism to all of the projects we are working on in partnership. GPAN are leaders in promoting gender equity and in the prevention of violence against women. In all the work that they do, they continuously role model a positive and encouraging attitude and always have the needs of the local community as a central part of their work. We look forward to continuously working together and many more projects to come!" Whitney Exposto, DPV Health Health Promotion Officer

"Staff at the school have noticed that the GPAN Hub students have grown in confidence and leadership ability. Additionally, GPAN Hub students are more equipped to call out gender inequality, within the school and wider community. Students have a greater understanding of what constitutes gender-based violence and its drivers"
