#ForAllWomenandGirls is a rallying call for action on the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. Activist Maria Gavrilcenco from the Republic of Moldova talks about how she uses art as a tool for engaging youth, fostering gender equality and building peace.

Mariana Zabrian, an entrepreneur from Moldova, has dedicated her entire career to preserving and promoting a valuable family recipe – the Babă Neagră dessert, a sweet, soft and porous cake. Inspired by the recipe passed down from her grandmother, Mariana, along with her mother and sister, transformed this family tradition into a business that brings the taste of childhood closer to people across Moldova.

"I am so fortunate to have met the women from the Roma Women’s Platform, ROMNI,” says Viktoria, a young Roma woman from Ukraine’s Odesa region, as she begins her story. “I don’t know what we would have done without their help.”
Viktoria, 22, is the mother of two children born in Moldova. Her youngest child is currently being hospitalized due to ongoing health issues. Viktoria fled the war in Ukraine with her husband’s family and now lives with her two children in a house on the outskirts of a village near Chișinău, sharing the space with 20 other extended family members.
