At the heart of Ziva Voices is our commitment to “Equality Through Visibility.” We believe that visibility is a key element in creating equality. By shining a bright light on women’s stories and achievements, we foster recognition and empowerment, enabling women to thrive and drive social change.
We want you to participate in our HerStory in the Making by helping us find other women and tell their stories. Did you know that only one woman is highlighted in the media for every six men? Creating opportunities and breaking biases starts with visibility; together, we can create that visibility.
Who do you admire? Who has created an impactful business in your community? Who is influencing the people in a positive and impactful way? What do you admire about this woman and her story?
Or who would you love to get to know better but are unsure how and need a reason to get in touch with? As for some time to interview her.
