Empowering the Next Generation of Leaders for Health Equity

In the remote communities of Pakbeng District, Oudomxay Province, Lao PDR, ethnic minority women leaders often face deep-rooted structural inequalities and limited opportunities to influence the very decisions that affect their lives.
Through the project "Championing Equity: Strengthening Decision-Making Capacities of Women Leaders in Remote Lao Communities," EI Fellows partnered with AESBO Laos and the Lao Women's Union to build skills in confidence, self-awareness, decision-making, and participatory planning, with a key focus on safeguarding and recognizing sexual harassment, abuse, and exploitation.
One participant, Simone from AESBO, shared: "I had the opportunity to share experiences and discuss challenges I had never shared before, which gave me more confidence. I also learned about my rights and safeguarding."
This is just the beginning of a year-long journey shaped by the communities themselves.

In remote communities in Ratanakiri, Cambodia, many women and girls face violence with limited access to support. Distance, stigma, and lack of services often mean suffering in silence.
Through a community-based approach, EI Fellow Sean Phay (2019, Cambodia), with Child Helpline Cambodia, is helping change that bringing counseling, legal support, and a 24/7 helpline closer to those who need it most.
As part of our 10-year anniversary, we are sharing stories from across the Equity Initiative community, highlighting the work of Fellows advancing health equity across Southeast Asia and China. Read the full story → Link in bio
