—  About

Worldwide women and men have shared their stories with us about their experiences with gender equality.

Gender equality has proven to be a powerful tool for development and it is a necessity for women and men worldwide. We believe that visualising and writing down the stories of both women and men will help stakeholders to show their audience the value, challenges and importance of gender equality. Personal stories have a power that is lacking in abstract numbers and research.

Interviews

So far we have interviewed over 90 women and men In Latin America, Asia and Africa. They answer questions like: What does gender equality mean to you ? How are the roles of women and men determined by your culture? What kind of challenges do you face? How can your community benefit from the talents of all people? What is the impact when the roles of men and women change? We want these ‘experts from experience’ to tell their story and paint the picture of the many different subjects and perspectives that are related to gender equality.

Documentary and book

Each interview is filmed and combined with a photografical portrait. These testimonials are the cornerstone of our project. We are now in the proces of translating the huge series of portraits into a book and a documentary: our personal contribution to the power of gender equality!

More and more organisations are looking for the right ‘touch’ to express their vision, goals and results. We believe that this project can support your organisation at a strategic level based on the meta-data we gather. You can also use the personal portraits individually, to point out the significance of gender equality for just one single person. Furthermore there will be organisations that can strengthen our project by sharing their expertise, ask critical questions or get us into contact with local organisations and people in Latin America, Asia and Africa. Interested? Just let us know. We’re just a mail, whatsapp or phonecall away!
