Devex, in collaboration with partners, launched a campaign to promote conversations about women and girls in development issues and projects on March 8, 2014, to commemorate the annual International Women’s Day.
The
campaign, She Builds, is a platform for organizations to work more
collaboratively and more effectively to raise the voice of women in
development. Since launching She Builds hundreds of thousands of individual
women, as well as organizations, have participated via the Devex website and
social media.
The
campaign commenced with She Builds Communities, launched on March 8, to
spotlight the critical role women play in creating healthy, stable communities
as political and spiritual leaders, educators, advocates, health workers, law
enforcers, and in other roles.
From
March 14, She Builds Economies focused on women’s contributions to economic
growth as bank account holders, farmers, small business owners, and more.
Between
March 17-21, companies, NGOs, and agencies, who work with women’s and girls’
issues in the field of international development, added their voices to the
global conversation by participating in the She Builds Digital Rally.
Future
activities include …
She
Builds Innovations, beginning on March 21, will feature leaders and their
vision in politics, science, and development, and other sectors.
She
Builds the Future, beginning on March 28, will dedicate a week to girls that
shape the world’s future. The next generation of women are already preparing to
foster an environment of peace and prosperity for all.
The
She Builds campaign features the trends and innovative solutions that women and
girls are involved in through communities, economies, innovations, and future
generations.
