Invest in Women: Narratives of Change

In the context of International Women’s Day, UN Women launched an essay writing competition with the subject “INVEST IN WOMEN: ACCELERATE PROGRESS”. The competition was organised with financial support from EU and Sweden. The contest called on Gender Equality Advocates and feminist change-makers around the country to identify ways to invest more in women’s rights and gender equality and motivate why increased investments are needed. In this publication, we have gathered the winning essays of the competition.

The essays are written by diverse women across Moldova. They are different ages, from different regions and have different backgrounds. What unites them is clear: a strong belief in women’s rights and gender equality.
