MRCI & Learn Achieve Become Partner For a Great Cause
MRCI teamed up with Learn Achieve Become to put on an event focused on women’s rights. Open to all genders and English levels, we raised money to transport people from the island of Nosy Komba to the event space, where around 100 people attended to discuss gender equality.
Topics ranged from defining sexism to the importance of education in today’s society. Participation from all different types of people in the community was encouraged, and some of our volunteers shared personal experiences.
While the event highlighted disparities present between men and women globally, it maintained a positive focus to help everyone understand the importance of equality and how equal participation between genders improves the world we live in. Members of the audience enjoyed participating and explaining their views, especially during the writing activity at the end, asking participants why they believed sexism was good or bad.
This event allowed us to celebrate a wide range of views while simultaneously emphasizing the importance of both genders. It was wonderful having a group of people from both Nosy Be and Nosy Komba accompany us to the event.
