When women are empowered, society benefits. The #WhatWomenWant campaign provided a unique platform for women to amplify their voices and share their most pressing needs to improve their health and well-being.
We are glad to have been part of this crucial campaign 🙏🏽 White Ribbon Alliance
We were privileged to engage with women leaders from Real Compassion CBO, which came to be as a result of our collaborative partnership under the ECCES Program supported by Act Change Transform & the What Women Want Program funded by White Ribbon Alliance

💬 Amplifying Women’s Economic Ambitions 💬
'I want my business to prosper.' - A woman from Niger State, Nigeria
'I desire to expand my tailoring business.' - A woman from Nandi, Kenya
Let's listen, amplify their voices, and support their dreams! #EconomicEmpowerment
From expanding businesses to becoming small-scale farmers, Rural Women Peace Link found Kenyan women have big dreams! Yet, many face challenges in accessing formal employment opportunities. Let's recognize and support the vital role these women play in their communities and economies.
Thanks to The Wilson Center for their lovely piece on our closure.
While our journey is ending, the fight for women's health continues. Now, it's time for grassroots organizations to take center stage and lead the change we all want to see.

Vineeta Gupta MD, JD, LL.M Merette White Ribbon Alliance We must acknowledge that the leaders who aim to transform, as they rise in global health, perpetuate the power inequities. It might be the system, but when will we do the social justice work? Merette
