June Storytelling Opportunities

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!

Here's what we're talking about this month:

June is Pride Month — share your LBGTQIA story.

LGBTQIA rights are human rights. And on World Pulse, we're bringing our voices together to imagine a world where people of all gender identities and sexual orientations can live in safety and be their authentic selves. Our stories can lead the way to more inclusive, compassionate societies across the world. This June, as the world celebrates pride, share your story on World Pulse. Share now.

International Days: Environment Day, International Widows’ Day, World Refugee Day, and more

International Days are an opportunity to shine light on key issues impacting women and girls globally — and June is a busy month! The UN recognizes the following days in June:

• 5 June: World Environment Day
• 12 June: World Day Against Child Labor
• 19 June: International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict
• 20 June: World Refugee Day
• 23 June: International Widow’s Day

If you have a story to share on any of these topics, World Pulse editors may just feature it on our social channels. Share your story now.
