Changemaking Resources

My three personal or community resources I am most proud of are:

My Voice: I have a strong and powerful voice and I use it to empower myself and others around me. I use my voice to share my stories and the stories of others, those who are voiceless or don't know how to. I now use my voice to speak up about violence against women, to raise awareness, to empower women and girls against violence.

My Family: My family has always supported me in the choices I have made. Supported my work through their words of encouragement, volunteering time, skills, resources, finances and expertise. At different stages of my life, I have needed different kinds of support and my family has always been there for me in ways I could not imagine. I am very grateful for their support.

Online community: I am very grateful for my online community through my organization Sayfty and Worldpulse. Over time we have been able to bring a strong community that is safe, open and caring for each other's safety. We have been able to dicuss and share problems related to the issue of violence against women and talked about underlying factors and solutions. We have share survivor stories, offer support and encouraged others to share their stories when they are ready. My online community has amplified my voice, my mission and work and for that I will forever be grateful.
