Did you know that approximately one billion women globally are marginalized due to factors such as illiteracy, limited access to education, societal barriers, and linguistic marginalization? This group of women is often referred to as the "Silent Billion" because they lack a voice in the world.

Twitter is one of the most powerful tools we have to spread the word and bring more people into the Movement. In this post, we'll show you how to become an Audiopedia Movement Twitter Champion.

The mission of the Audiopedia Movement  is to empower marginalized women through accessible knowledge. To achieve this, we rely on the support of generous donors and partners who share our vision of a world where everyone has equal access to education and information.

If you've been through a couple of smartphones by now, you probably have a few micro SD cards lying around that you don't know what to do with. Well, here's an idea: how about using them to empower illiterate rural women in Africa?

Virtual volunteering with Audiopedia is not only easy, it can help you make friends, learn new skills, advance your career and even feel happier. All while you make a lasting contribution to women in need.

Our future is at stake. Because men hold power while women are largely excluded from it. Especially in the Global South, hundreds of millions of women and girls are denied their right to education, effectively preventing their empowerment. 

Women's empowerment is crucial for sustainable development (read more about that here). We need their contribution as decision makers, caretakers, stakeholders, experts and educators across all sectors. This is the reason why we are turning Audiopedia into a global movement for women’s empowerment and gender equality.
