UNIFEM and YOPS collaborated to present a gallery of photographs and displays to reveal many different forms of violence against women all over Africa- particularly in nations torn apart by war and poverty. From AllAfrica.com :

[The exhibit] comprised of pictures that aim to raise awareness on the ruthless reality faced by women in armed conflict situations, emphasizing the serious repercussions these women then face in their communities. The display conveyed the message that peace is only possible by ending violence against women and girls. The 30 images composed the five sections of the exhibition, starting with an overview of armed conflict, followed by the various forms of gender based violence and the reasons why women and girls are particularly vulnerable in conflict and post conflict situations. The exhibition also displayed the strategies that have been developed to tackle this issue.
