Is it forbidden for a university student to volunteer in awareness campaigns that require her to speak with young men strictly within the confines of the campaign, while adhering to respect and pure intentions for the sake of Allah, especially if she is compelled to do so?

A woman's speech with non- men is permissible out of necessity, provided she does not use a soft or alluring tone. However, if there is no necessity, it is a door to temptation and corruption, especially for a young woman. For this reason, some scholars prohibited a young woman from speaking to non-mahram men without necessity. Therefore, as long as the work is voluntary, it is not considered a valid necessity, and you should limit your conversations to women.
