The Orange DATCH Token, aligned with SDG 5 – achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls, is a powerful tool within the DATCH Festival framework for advancing gender justice and inclusion in Delta State and beyond.
Promoting Gender Equality Mainstreaming
The Orange DATCH Token amplifies awareness on the importance of gender mainstreaming in policy, culture, education, and enterprise. By supporting campaigns, cultural showcases, and creative initiatives, it challenges stereotypes, breaks barriers, and promotes equal rights and opportunities for women and girls. It fosters a culture where every individual regardless of gender can thrive, innovate, and lead.
Combating Gender-Based Violence (GBV)
At its core, the token is also an instrument to end gender-based violence across communities. By facilitating advocacy campaigns, survivor-support programs, and policy engagement, the Orange DATCH Token raises awareness of the root causes of GBV, mobilizes communities to act, and strengthens accountability mechanisms to protect women and girls.
Catalyst for Empowerment & Inclusion
The token directs impact investments into women-led ventures in the cultural and creative economy, ensuring that women are not only participants but drivers of enterprise and development. This empowerment contributes to poverty reduction, youth mentorship, and intergenerational knowledge transfer.
A Just & Equitable Society
Through the DATCH Festival’s global platform, the Orange DATCH Token unites communities, institutions, and international partners to commit to a future where no one lives under the shadow of discrimination, violence, or exclusion. It symbolizes collective responsibility for building a just society where equality is non-negotiable and women’s leadership is celebrated.
