What is the JUWACI’s Project “The Victoria Show” all about?

The Victoria Show brought to you by JUWACI, is a transformative empowerment initiative that empowers women, youths, and children while actively addressing Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) and all forms of abuse.

More than just a platform, the Victoria Show serves as a catalyst for social change—promoting a culture of equality, justice, and respect, and igniting a movement to end GBV and SGBV in our communities.

Through this innovative project, we raise awareness of the deep-rooted issues surrounding GBV and SGBV.

Survivors are given a safe space to share their stories, lending their voices to break the silence and challenge stigma.

JUWACI creates a nurturing environment that fosters healing, resilience, and empowerment. By speaking out, survivors become symbols of hope and resilience —encouraging others to seek help and adding momentum to the collective push for a safer, more just, and inclusive societies.
