My Voice, My Vote was a civic engagement project funded by Women for Women International and implemented by Sparda between August and December 2025 in the Raparin region, with a focus on Ranya and surrounding areas including Qaladze, Sangasar, Hajiawa, and Chwarqurna. The project aimed to strengthen the capacity and confidence of young women, particularly first- time female voters, to participate meaningfully in political and civic life.

The project began with an open call for applications, followed by a bootcamp to select motivated young women campaigners. The selected participants then received trainings on political awareness, voting rights, and campaign design, equipping them with the knowledge and practical skills needed to lead awareness activities in their communities. 

Following the trainings, the campaigners designed and implemented a three-month awareness campaign combining both online and in-person outreach. The campaign produced original videos, infographics, and public messaging focused on women’s voting rights and the importance of political participation. In addition, Sparda supported the organization of six community awareness sessions across the Raparin region, reaching 349 participants. Each session concluded with a public commitment activity, where participants were encouraged to sign a pledge to vote, and 120 women signed the pledge. 

Through strong online outreach and strategic dissemination, the campaign generated 447,774 total views, and reached an estimated 13,299 first-time female voters and their male relatives in the Raparin region. The project demonstrated the importance of locally-led civic engagement initiatives in strengthening women’s participation and building long-term political awareness in
underserved communities.
