What Is Project Empowerment?

Project Empowerment is the Ruth Project’s education and advocacy space, made up of a dedicated team of writers using their collective experiences and narratives. Our topics range from self-advocacy and intersectionality to sexual violence and feminist environmentalism. All essays included in Project Empowerment are the products of a collaborative and inclusive writing process.

Starting in 2022, we release collections annually in September to celebrate the Ruth Project’s anniversaries.

The Feminist Essentials: Volume One

A collection of 14 essays ranging from knowing your worth and self-advocacy to intersectionality and educational equity, the Feminist Essentials is your guide to feminism written by and for young people.
