We believe that girls have the agency to make choices for themselves and advocate for their rights. Our role is to equip them through education and leadership development, and to amplify their voices as they lead in ending the cycle of sexual violence. One of the tools we use are leadership labs which educate the girls on different topics.
In November, we held a leadership lab on women's rights and feminism. In order to be strong advocates, we all need to educate ourselves on the issues that we're advocating for or against. Unlike other leadership lab sessions, this one was facilitated by all the girls. They took time to research and present on the different laws on women's ang girl's rights internationally and locally and their intersection with our work of ending sexual violence. They also researched on feminism, its principles and its role in the attainment of women's and girl's rights.
At the end of the session, every girl picked a femist principle that they would like to intentionally apply in ther advocacy in the coming days. We are grateful for your support that helps us equip our scholars to be better advocates against sexual violence.
