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. You could even be awarded a $100 US honorarium! Award-winning storytellers will also be eligible to be honored in the World Pulse Voices Rising Awards in March 2023! This top award highlights the most powerful, emerging voices from the World Pulse community — it could be you.

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

16 Days of Activism Against Gender-based Violence

Each year grassroots activists and organizations come together for 16 days to shine the spotlight on the most pervasive human rights violation on the planet: gender-based violence. It’s an issue every day of the year, and from November 25 to December 10, our collective voices are at their loudest. Add your story on World Pulse for a chance to be featured! Share now.
