2. We shall have pictures of both men and women taken with selfies cards which have this years theme of #balanceforthebetter



3. We shall also ask both men and women prior to the WhatsApp discussion to write about what women's day means to them 



4.  We shall also have discussions with women in the villages to get their perspective on what women's day is all about and also educate them on the World pulse platform.



5. We are going to having all these voices documented and used as an advocacy tool and we shall share this on various social media platforms.
