WFWP France - 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence. Awareness campaign on social media.

WFWP France celebrated Women’s international day with a meeting on persons and by zoom on the theme “women's resilience in the face of life's trials.”

After some explanations about the characteristics of women’s resilience by Brigitte Wada, Mrs Esther Mpemba shared her testimony about how she was able to bounce back after a stroke that paralyzed half of her body. The second speaker, Joanna Gaspard, explained that without God, it is more difficult to overcome the difficulties in life. A few more participants shared spontaneously about their life challenges and touched the heart of the audience.

The first 3 events we will organize will be more focus on Women, Peace and Security or Women

and Youth Empowerment Education.

First will be Woman in relationship with herself, therefore we focus on giving tools to help women in

overcoming their own personal challenges in life and find confidence in themselves.

This time was about Resilience through testimonies and by giving them 4 characteristics of women’s

resilience.

1. Self-awareness of her own difficulties

2. Inner abilities to overcome

3. Stay balanced

4. Learn from experiences
