“Fighting for women’s rights is a struggle, not just for equality, but for recognition of the role they play as pillars of communities, stalwarts of civil society and peacebuilders between nations. Women have an immense power to affect positive change and The GREAT Initiative’s mission to support them in making this change is acutely important”.
