Gender Links is a pioneering organisation in tackling this endemic issue of gender inequality with so much vigour and energy, doing it against many odds in an African society which is very conservative and backed by so many unfair traditional ways of living. I commend GL for the foresight it has.

I have acquired concrete skills through working with Gender Links. I am able to handle conflicts, communicate effectively, plan and budget for daily activities. The values that I have learnt are the promotion of human respect, economically and socially. Yes, I am now aware that I have the right as a woman to be economically empowered and that no one has the right to physically, emotionally and sexually abuse me. My change will greatly influence other people because they will be inspired by how I have progressed socially, spiritually and economically.

“Gender Links helped me to gain confidence in myself, and look at me now; I am not only a politician doing tremendous work for my community, but I have gone a long way. I know what is happening in other African countries and I learn from that.” Rabearisoa believes that one must be able to listen and have advice to find solutions to problems. “I learn from my mistakes, and reinforce what I have to become a positive person.”
