In response to the growing importance of space in our daily lives and the need to equip future generations with the tools to navigate this expanding eld, I saw the need to create PIKALI Reunion Ocean Indien (PIKALI RUN OI). PIKALI stands for Public Innovation Kit for Aerospace Local and Incubator, and its mission is to support the education of the younger generation, specically in the areas of space knowledge, practice, data, and applications.
The space industry is not just about exploration or high-tech innovation; it has become an essential part of solving real-world problems, from environmental monitoring to telecommunications. PIKALI RUN OI was born from the recognition that for regions like Réunion Island and the Indian Ocean basin to contribute meaningfully to the global space sector, we must rst invest in education and build local expertise.
Through PIKALI RUN OI, we aim to provide young people with access to educational resources, hands-on experience, and real-world applications of space technology. This initiative is about demystifying space and making it accessible to all, particularly those in underrepresented regions like ours. We want to inspire curiosity and innovation, empowering the next generation to become active participants in the future of aerospace.
PIKALI RUN OI is not just an educational project—it is a long-term vision to ensure that the Indian Ocean region has the knowledge, talent, and infrastructure needed to contribute to the global space conversation.

ImportanceofDiversityinRepresentation
Inthecauseofwomen'sempowerment,thereisthe needtobringonboarddifferentvoicesandstands. Diverseperspectivesenrichtheconversationand

BuildingWomen'sSolidarity
Infact,intersectionalityhelpswomen bondbyhighlightingcommon agendas,butsimultaneously consideringdifferences.Whenwomen realizethattheirconflictsare connected,theyarebetterpositionedto rallytogether Thissolidarityis fundamentaltobuildingastrong movement.
Forinstance,anequalpayforwomen campaignwillfindpowerfulvoicesby sharingnarrativesofwomenfrom differentwalksoflife.Thiscollective actioncanbringtofocusthevarious waysthatpayinequalityaffects women,thereforemakingtheoverall messagestronger.
DealingwithSystemicInequalities
Women'sempowermenteffortsmust notstopatindividualisticactionsbut dealwithsystemicinequalities. Intersectionalitypointsoutthatmostof thechallengeswomenfacehappento beintertwinedwithbroadersocietal structures.
