“ During the graduation
ceremony, the 13th class
graduates explained
with fierce, elegance,
openness and power
how the six month stay
and empowerment had
helped them break glass
ceilings, push the frontiers
of women’s leadership and
pave the path for other
women and girls to follow in
their footsteps and become
future leaders...The joy that
came to the graduates and
participants in the ceremony
was immeasurable. The day
was full of demonstrations.
It was full of surprises.
It was special and remains
unique in the life of each
graduate who was proud to
celebrate herself and her
femininity as a Vagina Warrior.”
