The 8th of March is International Women's day.
The past years have seen a significant movement towards challenging the status quo around gender roles. More women around the world are taking control of their lives and making change.
To celebrates women globally as change makers and highlights the importance of women's full participation in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) decision-making, my organisation, IRC, has launched the She Makes Change campaign.
Through the campaign IRC aims to raise €2,500 to facilitate three one-day workshops for 48 women in the Ganjam district, Odisha, India. This series of workshops provides foundational knowledge and skills training for women's full participation in local governance and water, sanitation and hygiene committees.
This project goes further than safe WASH service provision, as the skills, knowledge and confidence learned will strengthen these women to stand up for all of their rights, pursue their ambitions, and demand a better life for themselves, their family, and their community.
Thank you for your support! Every euro counts!
