An Emphasis on Gender Equity We know that educated and empowered girls, like Peace, create more equitable societies. From shaping policies to providing learning materials that combat traditional gender norms, Educate! is committed to implementing a gender-transformative approach. Our diverse team of female and male role models continuously champion this cause.
While participating in the Educate! Experience, Peace was motivated to become a leader in her school and beyond. She has established a craft-making business and aspires to share what she has learned with women in her community to curb gender-based violence and promote gender equity. As Peace explains, even when jobs are scarce, if you have practical skills, you can earn an income and chart your own path.
“After the leadership training we received, I was prompted to run for Head Girl at school.” Peace, Ugandan Secondary Student
