Gendercide Awareness Gala
Celebrated 15 Years of Impact
The Gendercide Awareness Project Gala 2026 was not just a celebration — it was a powerful reminder of why this work exists..
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
These success stories are generational change in motion.
Beyond the numbers, the evening highlighted the real lives behind the mission — girls who became doctors, nurses, and leaders in their communities. Stories like Yoselin and Sreynoch show how education creates generational change.
The GENDAP Art Exhibit transforms unimaginable statistics into something deeply human.
Spanning more than 2,000 square feet, the exhibit features 14,300 pairs of handmade baby booties — each pair representing 10,000 missing women and girls lost to gender-based discrimination, violence, trafficking, and inequality.
The exhibit has been displayed internationally to educate audiences, spark conversations, and make the invisible visible.
More than an installation, it is an experience that leaves a lasting emotional impact on everyone who walks through it.
“Girls’ education is the best long-term strategy to end gendercide. Your contributions help us educate girls in seven countries — from preschool to college.”
“I am Mei Mei, one of scholarship girl of Cambodia Village Fund from Battambang province, Cambodia. For me and my family are fine.
Now I am a second year student from University of Battambang, My major is Banking and Finance (result of my study is good). When I graduate I want to work at a bank as accountant. I hope my dream will come true, and I am very appreciated for your help and also happy to have you as my supporter for my study since I started my life at University, I have today because I had you.
At the end, I would like to say thank you so much, and wish you good health, enjoy in your life, and safe when you go everywhere.”
Mei Mei“My name is Yoselin and I am preparing to study medicine.
I have studied at the Colegio Miguel Angel Asturias [Guatemala] since the first grade, and I really love the ideals that the Colegio teaches, ideals that have been ingrained in me and which I hope to practice throughout my life. I love the classes I take here, especially art and physics, and I enjoy spending time with my friends during recess. I especially like our library because I love to read. I am so thankful for the opportunity to receive a scholarship because, for me, it is an incentive to study hard and better myself. In the future, I want to be a doctor so that I can give new opportunities to people without resources who do not have access to healthcare. The things that most motivate me to study and be successful, besides my family, is my wish to better my country for the future.”
