GENDERCIDE AWARENESS PROJECT INC

AWARENESS: To date, we have educated 3.7 million people via newspaper,radio, a robust online presence, YouTube videos, film screenings, lectures, and public speaking. Our traveling art exhibit has been especially effective in getting this issue in the news.

EDUCATING GIRLS: We began this in Fall, 2016, and to date we have raised enough to send 155 girls to school for a year. This includes tuition, three healthy meals per day, health care, eye care, books, supplies, uniforms, and in some cases, computers & transport.

EMPOWERING WOMEN: Our traveling art exhibit was created in such a way that it provided fairly paid work with dignity for women's sewing cooperatives in developing countries. We provided fairly paid work to 500 at-risk women in 30 countries. With their earnings, these 500 women were able to provide about 20,000 nourishing and substantial meals for family members.

AWARENESS: Our exhibit titled WHERE HAVE ALL THE GIRLS GONE? was exhibited at Austin College in 2016, the Dallas Arts District in 2017, the Parliament of the World's Religions in Toronto in 2018, and is now touring cities in Mexico.

Mexico averages 10 femicides per day. We are sounding the alarm and placing Latin America's femicide problem in the context of global gendercide. In each exhibit destination, we work with local leaders to develop PRACTICAL and PERMANENT steps to prevent femicide. In León, for example, workshops for youth will be held in a community center. Adolescent boys and girls (separately) will work with trained facilitators to discuss healthy masculinity and healthy intimate relationships. In San Martin Texmelucan, we are expanding clinics that offer free legal and psychological services for women experiencing abuse.

The exhibit highlights the phenomenal loss of female life due to female feticide, institutionalized discrimination, and lack of rights for women. Today 3.7% of the world's female population is "demographically missing" (dead) due to these causes (UNFPA).

EDUCATION: In Dallas we have an established and committed donor base whose gifts keep our girls' education program consistently funded. With time we have slowly expanded the program to educate more girls. Because we pledge to educate these girls over a very long period of time -- from preschool through university -- we expand slowly and cautiously. Education exerts its absolutely transformative effect only if it is continuous and uninterrupted.

AWARENESS: To date, we have educated 3.7 million people via newspaper, radio, a robust online presence, YouTube videos, film screenings, lectures, and public speaking. The traveling art exhibit has been our most effective tool to put the issue in the news. We will continue sending the exhibit around the country and the world as soon as the pandemic allows.

EDUCATING GIRLS: To date, we have raised enough money to send 240 girls to primary school for one year or 80 girls to the university for one year. We are committed to consistently supporting our students year after year, as continuity is absolutely critical to successful education. Thus, a principal event in our annual calendar is the Girls' Education Luncheon that raises much of the funding for this.
