About the Sister-to-Sister Mentorship Program
Over the past eight years the Sister-to-Sister Mentorship Program has provided valuable advocacy and grassroots organizing training to incredible young women activists from around the world. The program is designed to support young women rights activists in their international advocacy and media work. Participants learn and practice essential skills in a safe, supportive, and confidence-building environment and work closely with the Nobel Women’s Initiative team in Ottawa, Canada and in partnership with Coady International Institute. Upon completion of the program, the participants return to their home communities better equipped to promote women’s rights – using their newly developed skills to effectively work towards peace, justice and equality.
