Yellow Week

March 17, 2024 Project

Yellow Week, a new initiative by the Yellow Movement, invites self-identified young feminists who are Ethiopian public university students to a transformative camp. The 5-day camp aims to create a space for exchange, inspiration, and empowerment. The Yellow Week aims to develop proactive leadership skills among girls and young women by utilizing non-formal educational methods such as seminars, group assignments, documentary screenings, and design projects to raise awareness of gender inequalities within their communities while empowering them to become active leaders.
The first Yellow Week initiative took place in Addis Ababa from October 9 to 13. Twelve female university students from Addis Ababa University (8), Jimma University (2), DireDawa University (1), and DebreBirhan University (1) actively participated in this impactful campaign.
