Here's someone we'd like you to meet: Adorah. Adorah is a Make Art / Stop AIDS Squad member from Domasi, but also so much more. She hails from a small village in Mulanje, and growing up, she was told that she would be expected to marry and have a baby by the time she turned 18, 20 at the absolute latest. But, she's now 23 and the first person in her family to go to college! Through MASA, she's had a chance to work with other secondary school girls like her, showing them that there are other options for girls out there in the world. Because of MASA, she feels confident in being able to stand up for women's rights and be a role model for the girls in her village.⠀ @sdgaction @undpmalawi⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #womensrights #ignitesocialchange #artglo #masa #makeartstopaids #gbv #endgbv #globalgoals #sdgaction #sdgaward #rolemodel #whoweare #thatsmyfriend #youthempowerment #youthleadership #socialgood #instagood #malawi #africa
Talking about sex and condoms can be so embarrassing! Especially with people who are much older or younger than you, it can feel weird to ask the questions you have to get the information you need. That's why we had college students talking to secondary school students about these topics. Everyone feels more comfortable when the information is coming from someone like you.⠀ @undpmalawi @sdgaction⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #sdg #sustainabledevelopmentgoal #sdgaction #sdgaward #fightaids #srh #srhr #sexualreproductivehealth #gbv #genderbasedviolence #stopaids #endaids #aidsfreegeneration #masa #makeartstopaids #ignitesocialchange #art #participatoryart #theatrefordevelopment #theatreoftheoppressed #socialgood #instagood #malawi #africa

Did you know that only 27% of students in Malawi's Techincal, Entrepreneurial, and Vocational Education Training (TEVET) colleges are women? One of the reasons that enrollment is so low is because of gender-based violence. We're getting started on a project working with students and staff at selected TEVET colleges around the country. They'll create artistic projects addressing the issues of GBV at their school, and create and implement a reporting and response system. We're very excited to see what they come up with! The programme is supported through the Skills and Technical Education Programme (STEP), an initiative partially implemented by UNESCO with funding from the EU. . . . . . #gbv #genderbasedviolence #womensrights #educationisaright #genderequality #genderequity #tevet #participatoryarts #art #theatrefordevelopment #theaterfordevelopment #theatreoftheoppressed #endgbv #socialgood #instagood #malawi #africa #womensrightsarehumanrights #humanrights

What does it take to change someone's mind? We think at least one part of it is having fun. The Umunthu workshops tackle some heavy topics, especially discrimination, but we do it in a way that gets the participants up and moving. The people we work with are involved in exploring what does it mean for us to have a shared humanity, and how does that influence my behaviours?⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #umunthu #ubuntu #iambecauseweare #endstigma #enddiscrimination #lgbti #lgbt #healthequity #healthaccess #humanrights #sharedhumanity #smile #joy #instagood #everydayafrica #everydayeverywhere #socialchange #socialgood

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us last week at Siesta by Everest in Lilongwe. The MASA Squads had a blast showcasing everything they've worked on the last few months.
