Stories of GLOW (Girls Leading Our World) from Peace Corps Volunteers
(Seminar/Conference)
Around the world, Peace Corps Volunteers are working with communities to address gender equality and empower women and girls. Since the 1974 Percy Amendment, Peace Corps has actively integrated women into the economic, political, and social development of their countries. Volunteers work with host country women to collect and share their stories of trials and successes. At this event we celebrate these women via poems, video clips, and short essays.
This event is a part of Women's Month at Virginia Tech. For the full calendar of events, go to http://womenscenter.vt.edu/Program/womens-month.html.
