Community events, school visits and awareness campaigns marked this year’s Sixteen Days of Activism.

Justicia Center for Sustainable Development works with young people, women and communities across Ethiopia to turn ideas into livelihoods that last. This story is part of that work.

What happened

With the British Embassy Addis Ababa and local partners, our team ran awareness sessions in schools and communities, and shared referral information for survivors of sexual violence.

Participants worked through practical sessions on business planning, legal registration, pricing and marketing, then pitched their ideas to a panel of partners and mentors.

“Every conversation we start makes our community safer.”
— Programme participant

Why it matters

Ethiopia’s young population is one of its greatest assets. Green enterprises can create jobs while tackling environmental pressures, from soil degradation to invasive species and agricultural waste.

  • Practical, market-relevant skills for young entrepreneurs
  • Six months of free legal and business advisory support
  • Links to partners, buyers and investors
