Gender Issues Volunteer Programs

Around the world, nations have made significant progress in the quest toward equal opportunity among men and women. Many countries have acted as models in societal change, however there isn’t a country to date that has perfected the “equality for all” mantra. Those who choose to volunteer their time to confront gender issues will work as advocates for marginalized women worldwide, developing programs to educate and empower. Each continent is faced with varying gender crises, and each one has its own unique need for volunteers to help drive gender rights initiatives and programs.

I am beyond grateful for my 1-month volunteer experience with African Impact in Cape Town. From the moment I arrived, the warmth and professionalism of the team made it unforgettable. When I first arrived at the airport, Thulani, the program manager, was already waiting, and ready to give us an engaging introduction to the history and scenery of Cape Town. After a 20+ min drive we arrived at The Lenox hostel. The Lenox became my home for the month, and the staff made sure it felt that way. Every...

Why Volunteer Abroad

Gender inequality is has been around for generations, in every culture across the globe. While progress has been made over the years, inequality tends to manifest itself in new ways, creating the need for further advocacy and societal change. Although gender injustice tends to primarily affect women, the issues faced by men and children should not be forgotten either. Poverty, violence, and illiteracy are just a few of the continual worldwide struggles that make gender issues even more complicated and in need of attention.

Volunteers can give their time to educate and empower marginalized groups (namely women) and ultimately combat gender inequality across the world. While there is a great deal of need among individuals experiencing specific unequal treatment, there is a greater need to challenge and encourage the world at large to implement the necessary changes. Change can not be made through passivity; it is passion, dedication, and service that can create the ripple effect needed to solve gender issues abroad.
