"In the beginning, our families gave us a lot of trouble, we had to really insist for them to let us set up the association. But after we completed the training program, we became more aware and more independent. We have changed enormously, and go out alone. The girls and women in the association stand with us. And now, all of the women in the village agree with us! The men can no longer stop us. We tell them: “Look, we left the village to go to the training and nothing happened to us. If your girls go to school, nothing bad will happen to them either; they will finish their studies and have a bright future."
