Women’s History Month at WOA Dnipro

This afternoon the WOA Dnipro’s Gabfest Speaking Club had a session with the topic “Women’s History Month”. The theme for National Women's History Month 2018 is “Nevertheless She Persisted: Honoring Women Who Fight All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.”
The group   watched several UN videos that explained why gender equality is important for modern societies. We also translated several complicated quotes about feminism, watched videos about its historical stages. Empowerment of women and girls through entrepreneurial efforts was also mentioned in the debate about gender equality.
In the second part of the session the group was offered a Q&A activity with our American guest – a Peace Corp. volunteer Mr. Austin. He teaches English in the town of Vilnohirsk in Dnipro Oblast and was visiting Dnipro in his free time. The group was very excited to meet an American guest and asked him a lot of questions about his life in the USA and his impressions about Ukraine.
Number of participants – 35.
