Top Model Uganda, a franchisee of Top Model Worldwide based in the United Kingdom, is embarking on a new journey to combat gender-based violence in schools.
Over the weekend, the franchise, renowned for discovering new talent and empowering youths, visited Exodus College in Banda, Wakiso district.
With the theme “Yogela Totya,” which translates to “Speak Up, Don’t Fear” in Luganda, Top Model Uganda is extending its efforts to schools, spreading awareness about gender-based violence and educating students on various forms of GBV that can occur in educational settings.
The event was graced by Sharon Kiyimba, the former student of Exodus College and the reigning Top Model Uganda 2022 winner.
Addressing the students, Sharon Kiyimba encouraged them to reach out to their prefects and senior women/men whenever they encounter challenges, particularly related to sexual harassment.
As part of her modeling journey, Sharon is also set to travel to the United Kingdom to explore further opportunities in her modeling career.
