Help us equip more change makers! We are expanding our Reel Women Real Change programming so that even more women and girls can use storytelling, including film, to advocate for the causes that matter most to them and their communities. If you care about equality, if you understand the importance of speaking up, if you love stories (and know their power to change perspectives), join us in creating a world in which important stories promote positive change.

Challenge

It's now 2020, yet in much of the world, women's voices are not being heard - and even well-intentioned public policy fails because of it. Women often know, see, and experience challenges in our communities in different ways than men. Women and girls have valuable stories to tell from a unique perspective that, if accounted for, would further societies worldwide. Women need the skills and support to take important stories to people in power and ensure smart policy.

Long-Term Impact

While policy can change in the stroke of a pen, the process of winning political support can take decades. While video can be shot and uploaded in minutes, creating effective film and a strategy to influence social change can take years. Our curriculum and mentorship programming support our participants over the long term, both personally and professionally. We are amplifying more women and girl's voices to, in turn, amplify community stories and inform policy around the world.
