Last November, we brought together 47 young indigenous women from 10 different communities at our KKPinay Kamp 2023. Under the theme "Pagkilala at Paglikha: Ako bilang babae, kabataan, at katutubo para sa kolektibong pagkilos," these incredible young women shared their stories, experiences, and dreams, inspiring collective action and empowerment.

Let’s continue to support and uplift the voices of our youth as they shape a brighter future!
