from 2020-05-27T13:56:32
Welcome to this special conversation with Didi Bertrand Farmer, Founder and President of The Women and Girls Initiative.
The Women and Girls Initiative is a very special Life-Changing mission that was founded by Didi in 2008 as a pilot program to support over 400 disadvantaged adolescent girls and young women in two different post-disaster and conflict contexts: Rwanda after the 1994 genocide and Haiti after the 2010 earthquake.
Didi is a dynamic and visionary woman that wears a lot of hats, she is a:
- Human Rights Activist
- Community Leader
- Champion of Women and Young Girls
- She’s also a Strategist for Gender and Adolescent Youth Health and Development for Partners In Health also known as PIH.
In this conversation we dive deeper into the story of Didi and her advocacy work. We learn more about the Women and Girls Initiative and also get some insights into how the Corona pandemic is affecting the Mental Health of the girls and young women in the program, which is a very appropriate topic as we’re currently in the month of May which is Mental Health Awareness Month.
