E-BOOKS

The handbook for women’s rights activists intends to support the new and aspiring activists in planning their journey, equipping them to break the initial barriers to come forward as feminists or gender equality activists and amplify their voice in their communities. Your Voice Matters is designed as a starting place for finding guidance, information, and resources for gender equality activism. We want you to believe that change can start with you.

Equality Change Makers 2020 is a complilation of interviews of inspiring leaders from all across the world doing groundbreaking work to promote gender equality. This e-book reflects the collective struggle, wisdom, vulnerability, and courage of 17 amazing individuals. We realized that while these seventeen stories are so diverse, there is one thing common in all of them. They all tell us stories of hope. Stories of rising amidst challenges and barriers. We felt that people need to hear their stories to build a more resilent, compassionate and sustainable world.
