The 1981 Inheritance law, the 2010 new constitution, and the CEDAW signing are measures taken by Kenya towards a more equal society, but are they applied in day-to-day lives?
Women played crucial roles throughout history despite oppression. It's the case of Italian women who made a change during the Risorgimento period and Resistance movements.
Japan has a long history of women's rights variations. If women in the Heian period could inherit and manage property, in the 17th century they were only defined by domestic care. See how Japanese women lived over time in our short history video.
It seems the former rulers of the 20th century in Afghanistan were more progressive than today's leaders. How come we walk backwards, and evolution is so problematic?
The 20th century marked major events in Turkish women's history. Equal education rights, the right to vote, and the CEDAW convention all changed public awareness of gender equality.
Women play a crucial role in Macedonian society, but the increased gender gap proves how slowly the country is heading towards equality. Watch a history that succeeds in keeping the gender gap unchanged.
The 1917 Russian Revolution played a crucial role in advancing the rights and roles of women in Soviet society. Watch our short video about the political and social changes that gave women labour and political opportunities.
"I'm not afraid to say" was the Ukrainian women's message to disclose rape, sexual harassment, and domestic violence. Watch their history from medieval Kyivan Rus to the 2017 law on domestic violence with our campaign videos.
Only sex education can teach us about our bodies, boundaries and consent. Without it, we will perpetuate a future where violence is still mistaken for love. See the changes NGO Girls make for a better society!
Parents, teachers, officials, children, we all need sexual education to improve real-life responses to gender-based violence. Our new episode shares the efforts of NGO Girls to change the stigma and stereotypes around abuse.

Difference is a plus! The CoCo Lab project enhances everyone's uniqueness and facilitates the exchange of experiences, knowledge, and talents. Our new episode tells the story of a community built by and for women.

Questions are the key to understanding the colonization process and decolonizing the imperial mindset we all grew up with. When history excludes ethnic minorities, it is our responsibility to change the perspective.
