ASYV is #EachforEqual.

Sunday, March 8th, was International Women’s Day, a celebration of women’s social, economic, cultural and political achievements and a call to action to urge the world to push toward the equal treatment of women all around the world.

Instead of celebrating for just one day, the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village commemorated all month long with a series of events and our very own #EachforEqual campaign to match the International Women’s Day theme of 2020.

Students, staff, alumni, and Board members shared how they are taking action to support women and girls, what inspires them about the women in their own lives, and their “words of wisdom” to inspire others to build a more equitable world.

Addressing disparities in gender equity at the Village is one of ASYV’s main strategic goals. The campaign served as an important reminder to our community about the importance of lifting up women and girls and a means for us to stand in solidarity with women and male allies all around the globe.
