What is the 100 Voices project?

The 100 Voices project gathers stories of inspirational Red Cross Red Crescent women from the very beginning of the Movement until present day. It showcases the collective and individual commitments and contributions that women have made to the Movement in every corner of the world. We believe that these women’s stories deserve a place in our common history, and we know that without them the RCRC Movement would not be the same. Women play a pivotal role throughout the RCRC Movement, and their voices deserve to be heard.
