The power to advance society – to change and move things in a positive way – comes from using our power together. This is especially true when change is needed to increase the number and power of women leaders. Together, women can make the changes necessary; together women can create societies of better diversity; together women can make sure the future holds as many opportunities for girls and women as for boys and men.
POWER, TOGETHER is the key.
In recognition of that, the Reykjavík Global Forum presents the POWER, TOGETHER award to outstanding initiatives, where people join forces to effect great change.
End Period Poverty Movements
Menstruation is a shared experience among billions of people, and yet remains a globally stigmatised topic. As a result, women and girls are suffering in silence and missing education and career opportunities, instead of embracing themselves and their bodies. The Reykjavík Global Forum awards these inspirational initiatives and organisations that are working in their communities and abroad to empower women, break down the stigma of menstruation, and push for policy change. By providing a platform for all these different parties to make connections, engage in discussion, and share best practices, we will build momentum for a truly global movement where all those involved work hand in hand towards the same goal. Truly, we have the POWER, TOGETHER to end stigmatization of periods once and for all.
