My Work in Advocacy
1. Policy and Advocacy
Policies shape the legal frameworks surrounding women’s rights. Feiza’s mission is to reassess and address policies that infringe on these rights by conducting thorough research and offering actionable recommendations to legislators. She aims to create equitable policies that uplift and protect women in all spheres of society.
2. Mentorship of Young Girls
As a mentor for young girls, I am passionate about empowering young girls through open conversations on sexual health and reproductive rights. I’ve guided them on topics like menstrual rights and hygiene, cervical cancer awareness, bodily autonomy, and school performance. My goal is to help them make informed choices and embrace their individuality. I also mentor on personal branding, helping girls build confidence and develop the skills they need for their future careers
3. Sexual and Reproductive Health Advocacy
I want women and girls to understand that they have the undeniable right to full bodily autonomy. My advocacy work is rooted in the belief that all women and girls deserve equal access to quality, affordable menstrual products, ensuring their dignity and well-being. I envision a world where women's sexual, reproductive, and biological experiences are not used to measure their competence, but rather are respected as natural and integral parts of their identity. This world must recognize that women are equally capable as men in all spheres of life, and that gender should never dictate access to rights, opportunities, or resources.
