Audio transcript : “This scholarship, which allows me to study for a master's degree in gender studies, a master's degree with a feminist focus, allows me to become more immersed in these issues, to be able to continue with my activism.

My commitment to the struggle for the rights of women, girls and adolescents  remains. It is something I have been focusing on for many years and I will continue to work on it. 

My undergraduate degree, which was on communication, linking a lot about the gender perspective, helps me a great deal. For me, feminist activism is my way of life. It is something that has helped me a lot, that even keeps me vital. I want to keep working harder. Even when I finish my master's degree, I want to continue to add to my knowledge.”
