My Story, My Vision, My Spice

We envision an open-minded world transformed by the critical and creative voice of the women. We envision a world in which the knowledge of marginalized communities is center-staged in the public discourse, and in which they have an equal voice in shaping the direction of their countries – at a hyper-local and a national level. We believe that if the voices of the women are heard, better and more equitable policies will be created. Whether it is by providing the immediate, frontline response (‘will this development initiative work in my village and why or why not?’) or by ensuring solutions are grounded in the needs of the average person, promoting the voices of the women is crucial to the world’s development and its democracy. Only when the voices of women in the communities are heard by all decision-makers, will the corridors of power open for true democracy.
