Welcome to My Advocacy Journey
Welcome to my online platform where I share my journey as I walk through this earth, living, learning, advocating and impacting. an advocate for change. I’m Tuwilika Elias, an HIV & GBV Advocate, a Fulbright and YALI Alumni, a Deaton Scholar, and currently a Cookingham-Noll Fellow. My personal experiences with rape and HIV have given me a unique perspective on the world and have driven me to address the issues at their core.
My Mission
I am deeply passionate about using education to challenge gender inequality and the barriers that perpetuate HIV and sexual violence against women and girls. Through my platform, I aim to address the issues of HIV and Gender-Based Violence (GBV) head-on, with a strong focus on education.
My primary goal is to ensure that young people from impoverished backgrounds and communities with a high prevalence of HIV and GBV are supported, empowered, and educated to break the cycle of poverty and inequality, which are some of the root causes of these problems.
My Aspirations
As a public policy graduate, I aspire to influence structural and policy changes. I am building my professional career in women’s empowerment, policy-making, and international development so that I can contribute to the fight against inequality and poverty.
