CW/TW: Domestic violence, violation of women's rights, pro-life organisations, gender-based violence, mental health.

In this final episode of the Advocacy Toolkit Podcast from World YWCA, we will talk about the challenges that come up after a movement gains some visibility and success, and how some women work their way through it to sustain momentum. The 2030 Agenda for People, Planet, and Prosperity – supported by World YWCA is a comprehensive, people-centered global plan of action and commitment to eradicate poverty, achieve sustainable development, and strengthen universal peace, and it includes specific goals to promote gender equality and inclusion. We have with us Benter Adhiambo from YWCA Kenya, and Sasha Sokolova from YWCA Belarus to shed some light on their work.
