SES Women of the Year 2022
At the SES Equality and Solidarity Association, we amplify the voices of women’s resistance and courage through SES Equality, Justice, and Women’s Platform, our organization’s esteemed publication. Through this Platform, we gather and share the empowering stories of women who fearlessly challenge the patriarchal system, giving rise to the possibility of a new and transformative world. These remarkable tales of resilience and determination can be summarized in two powerful and inspiring words: Resistance and Hope.
