    October is one of my favorite months - the leaves are changing, there’s a crispness to the air - spooky season, need I say more! There is much to love about October and so many fun activities to engage in. However, while we are cozying up for cooler weather, we must remember that home is not always a safe, cozy space for all. 

    October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Domestic Violence Awareness Day falls on October 20th. Domestic violence continues to disproportionately affect women and rates of violence that soared during the pandemic remain high. If you or someone you know if experiencing domestic violence, please reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233.

    In BPW news, our initiative to end period poverty continues to make exciting progress! This Period Action Day, held annually on the second Saturday of October, we are encouraging each chapter to host their own period product drive to donate to a local organization helping women in need. I am delighted to report that we have participation across the US! 

    New York City is hosting a Happy Hour Period Product Drive on Thursday, October 12th, from 5 to 7 p.m. in collaboration with a local woman-owned bar in Brooklyn. 

    Wishing you all a safe and happy October!

    Virtual chapter members in North Carolina are working with their local community college to provide supplies for students in need – they will be adding period products to their stash of supplies! California has several drives in the works hosted by East LA/Montebello and the Sierra Mar District. All supplies from the inaugural period product drive hosted by BPW Burbank have been donated.  NW Pennsylvania will be having its district meting on October 14th to determine how best to support the period poverty initiative.  If you have any questions on how to host your own period product drive, please do not hesitate to reach out. You can also join our next period poverty meeting scheduled for Thursday, October 19th. Another aspect of our Period Action Day outreach is an educational campaign on the realities of period poverty. We will have a social media toolkit for members to use! We also have a new resolution to end period poverty, coming up for a vote by the Board of Directors at the next meeting on Tuesday, October 17th. We couldn’t think of a better way to commemorate Period Action Day than passing this resolution!

    The weekend of August 12th, myself and two young BPW members from the NYC chapter, Ms. Djenabou Bah and Ms. Rafath Gnabode, attended the 27th annual Youth Assembly hosted by AFS. We were able to attend this conference thanks to generous funding from BPW International.

    I learned about the Youth Assembly through an advertisement on LinkedIn. It seemed a great way to network with youth from around the world, learn new skills, and promote BPW and our work. When I mentioned the conference in the YBPW Global WhatsApp group, I was encouraged to go by past International YBPW Chair Neelima Basnet, who had previously attended and said the experience changed her life.

    The conference was attended by hundreds of youth delegates from over 60 countries. The opening ceremony took place on International Youth Day in the United Nations ECOSOC chamber; it was an exciting experience. Throughout the weekend, various panel discussions were hosted featuring industry leaders and fellow youth making a difference.

    It was inspiring to see so many young people taking steps to address the challenges they saw in their communities and the world.

    I attended one panel hosted by Youth Assembly alums and learned how they used their experience at the conference to create new movements and initiatives. I hope to have a similar story to share next year!

    During the second day of the conference, I had the pleasure of presenting the Afghan Women Project during a live pitch to a panel of judges as one of the finalists for the AFS Young Global Citizens award. Although we ultimately did not win the award, it was an honor to be selected as a finalist.

    Afghan Women Project presentation

    The experience presented an amazing opportunity to share about BPW and our work. Many people approached me after the pitch, asking how they could be involved with the project and recommending organizations for collaboration. Several people asked about chapters in various countries, including Peru, Colombia, Nigeria, and Senegal. I felt truly honored to be representing BPW at the Youth Assembly.

    Beyond the programs offered at the Youth Assembly, the networking opportunities were fantastic. One person I spoke with was an employee of AFS who represents the organization at the UN. He was so impressed by my work on the Afghan Women Project that he invited me to interview for a position on the UN Department of Global Communications Youth Representative Steering Committee, of which he is a senior advisor. This would be an excellent opportunity for BPW to strengthen our relationship and presence at the UN and increase the notoriety of our organization. I would love to discuss this opportunity with our UN representatives.

    Attending the Youth Assembly proved a great way to market BPW and provided professional growth and networking for our members.

    I would love to have more YBPW members worldwide be able to attend next year. I think there is great potential for marketing and bringing in new members. Thank you, again, for providing the funding for our young members in NYC to be able to attend this event. Hopefully, we will be able to attend again next year!
