World Pulse at 20: A Global Movement of Empowerment and Connection

As World Pulse celebrates its 20th anniversary, the echoes of empowerment, connection, and transformation reverberate across the globe. For two decades, this grassroots movement has been a beacon of hope, uniting women from every corner of the world in a powerful tapestry of solidarity and change.

Founded on the belief that when women are heard, they can change the world, World Pulse has become a force to be reckoned with as a platform where voices once silenced find resonance, where stories once untold find a home, and where dreams once deferred find wings to soar.

At the heart of World Pulse lies a simple yet profound truth: that the power of connection knows no bounds. Through the magic of technology, women from all walks of life come together in a digital sisterhood, transcending borders, languages, and cultural barriers to uplift, inspire, and support one another.

For Harriet, a young passionate advocate for gender equality, youth empowerment, and technology-driven social change in Kenya, World Pulse is more than just a platform; it's a lifeline. Through her words, she sheds light on the pressing issues facing her community from tailored mentorship, educational support, healthcare services, livelihood training, and community engagement activities. She finds strength in the solidarity of her sisters around the world.

Meanwhile, in India, Rasika harnesses the power of World Pulse to amplify her voice focusing on human rights, specifically, sexual and gender-based violence prevention and providing support to survivors of violence. She connects with women who, like her, dare to dream beyond the constraints of societal norms.

And in the Philippines, Paulina finds solace and sisterhood in the arms of the World Pulse community as she advocates for gender and women's issues, finding courage in the stories of women who have walked similar paths. Paulina’s vision is to create a caring and safe world where all people are able to fulfill their rights, develop their full potential and realize their dreams for the good of humanity.

The World pulse change maker's list is endless, women have made impact, I couldn't name all but I salute all the women from all over the world and using the platform to speak and be heard, encouraged and supported.

Then Myself Lucy, Joining World pulse at first, I shared one story in a year. I was scared and didn’t know what to write, how to share, where to start, I just juggled with words, I however still received so much support. Then one day, something very disturbing happened in my country Kenya regarding gender based violence termed as femicide, I shared a story of a recent inhuman incident that led to the death on one vibrant young lady named Scarlet Wahu, My aim was to spread the word to a larger network so that the voices of women would be heard, my story made an impact, and is still making waves on the world pulse network featured stories. I have since gotten my voice, I can share, encourage and seek to make a change with my voice. I am still learning, I stumble most of the time, but I have the courage because I have support from the most amazing women from all corners of the world

But World Pulse isn't just about sharing stories; it's about sparking action and driving change. From grassroots initiatives to global campaigns, women on World Pulse are leading the charge for gender equality, social justice, and human rights, one story at a time.

As World Pulse turns 20, the impact of this global movement is undeniable.
