August Storytelling Opportunities: Your story matters.

Today and everyday, we’re raising our voices for change. What story will YOU tell?

Did you know that when you share your story on World Pulse, you could win a Story Award and have your story published? Every month, World Pulse editors look for fresh, new voices to amplify on our social media channels. You could even win a World Pulse Story Award and receive a $100 US honorarium! We look to award 3-5 storytellers per month.

This month we're talking about:

Peace and Security: Tell us, how are you affected by insecurity? What’s your vision for peace?

Women are often on the frontlines of conflict — not just as victims or combatants, but as powerful agents of peace. Yet still we remain on the outside of peace and security decision making. This International Peace Month, women are raising their voices on World Pulse to usher in a more peaceful and secure world. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• How does insecurity impact you, your home, your family, your country, or your future?
• What experiences have shaped your definitions of security?
• Are you working to bring about a more secure world? What is your vision, and what do you need to make your vision a reality?

Share your story.

Climate Justice: We're raising our voices in support of the environment .

Our earth is in a state of emergency, but we have a powerful defense: our voices. Share your story related to the environment, from climate change to environmental degradation to agriculture and more.

• Share a story about your efforts, your challenges, and your successes as an environmental activist.
• Share a love letter to the earth and the landscape around you.
• Tell us about the biggest environmental threats you and your community face each day.
