Using lived experiences to fight for gender equality | Akola Thompson, Best Chitsanupong
Channel: One Young World
Date: 2022-12-06

Leaving an abusive relationship was the catalyst for Akola Thompson to learn more about women's rights. She then founded Tamùkke Feminists, an intersectional collective focused on public education and community development. 

Best Chitsanupong and her friends stood up for their right to wear gender-affirming outfits to their graduation. And won. Now she's the founder of Young Pride Club, which helps LGBTQ+ youth leaders to support gender equality in universities, and at a national level.

Both Ambassadors are examples of the positive impact young leaders can have when they stand up for gender equality for all.

Recorded at our One Young World Summit in Manchester.
