CW/TW: Domestic violence, violation of women's rights, pro-life organisations, gender-based violence, mental health.

In this final episode of the Advocacy Toolkit Podcast from World YWCA, we will talk about the challenges that come up after a movement gains some visibility and success, and how some women work their way through it to sustain momentum. The 2030 Agenda for People, Planet, and Prosperity – supported by World YWCA is a comprehensive, people-centered global plan of action and commitment to eradicate poverty, achieve sustainable development, and strengthen universal peace, and it includes specific goals to promote gender equality and inclusion. We have with us Benter Adhiambo from YWCA Kenya, and Sasha Sokolova from YWCA Belarus to shed some light on their work.

In this third episode of the Advocacy Toolkit Podcast from World YWCA, we will be hearing from women who have kept their respective causes alive through online advocacy, especially during the complete lockdowns in the year 2020. As work from home and social distancing became enforced in most countries, activists had to move events, workshops, and even conferences online. We are joined on this episode by Maureen Magak from YWCA Kenya, Sofie Nordvik from Y Global Norway, Helena Kozińska from YWCA Poland, and Sadaf Wali Shah from Y global, who will be sharing insights of how they used social media to give even more to young women and girls!

CW/TW: Gender-based Violence, life-threatening hostility, mention of rape kits.

In this first episode of the Advocacy Podcast Toolkit, we will be looking at the basic foundation of turning a personal passion for justice into a movement. How do you mobilise your community? How do you build a sustainable mass women and young women-led movement? How do you organise individual survivors into a collective force of resistance? To answer them using their own experiences, we have three remarkable women joining us – Mandisa Khanyile from South Africa, Sireen Sayej from Palestine, and Christine Winny from South Sudan.
