Youth use social media to raise awareness of gender-based violence – Cabin Radio
December 16, 2025
Scrolling through social media, you may come across videos featuring northern youth explaining gender-based violence or the harm of gender stereotypes.
At a workshop put on by Foxy/Smash in Yellowknife last week, youth from across the NWT and Nunavut learned about gender-based violence and worked on social media videos to share that knowledge with others.
The aim of the project is to reduce both the stigma around the issue and its prevalence in northern communities.
“It’s a really good thing that we’re using social media because nowadays there’s a lot of people that are on social media,” Rick Aningaat, a participant from Baker Lake, told Cabin Radio.
