At 22, Sarina Gurung joined SIWA with limited practical experience, uncertainty about her future and a fear of being judged for her Nepali language skills. The experience challenged her understanding of feminist leadership, advocacy and participation, while helping her build confidence in her own voice. In this personal reflection, Sarina shares how SIWA shaped the way she understands leadership, feminism and community engagement, and why she believes finding her own voice is only the beginning of creating space for other young women to find theirs.
