Advocating for women and girls rights through Community - Led Dialogue
Protection
“I always thought issues related to women cannot be discussed. In our culture, it is a shame to discuss girls/women’s issues because our fathers and grandfathers are the influencers and we should always follow them. After the discussions, I’ve really changed that attitude and I am now eager to discuss and support women/girls’ rights.
I have shared what I learned from the discussions and the whole program with my friends in the university and in the village. I believe that I can make a change in my community through this Communities Care program and become an activist who advocates for women and girls.”
