Gendercide Awareness Project
Founded in 2011 by Beverly Hill, GENDAP.org began with a bold vision: a traveling art exhibit to bring attention to the world’s 143 million “missing” women. By commissioning women to create baby booties for the exhibit, the initiative raised awareness in 3 countries while providing economic empowerment. We were honored to showcase a small part of this exhibit at the Gala.
We celebrated impact:
-
338 girl-years of education delivered
-
40+ girls supported across all levels
-
7 graduates in professions
-
3.9 million people educated on gendercide
-
4 film screenings with expert panel discussion
Beyond the numbers, the evening brought to life the real stories behind the mission — girls who have gone from limited opportunity to becoming doctors, nurses, and leaders in their communities. Stories like Yoselin, now an MD serving underserved patients, and Sreynoch, a nurse-midwife improving outcomes in Cambodia.
These success stories are generational change in motion.
