Will My Voice Be Heard? | Khairunnisa | TEDxUniversitas Andalas
You’ve seen the headlines. But what about the voices behind them? This session isn’t just a conversation—it’s a call to action. We’re breaking the silence and shattering the stigma. This is where courage meets truth, where stories once hidden come to light. It’s not just about speaking out; it’s about being heard. Together, we’ll unveil the power of voice and the strength in vulnerability. But will you listen? Khairunnisa Annisa is a passionate women's rights activist and student leader who has been instrumental in the establishment of the Sexual Violence Prevention and Handling Task Force (Satgas PPKS) at Universitas Andalas. Her mission? To challenge deeply rooted norms and dismantle barriers that silence victims of gender-based violence. Through her relentless advocacy, she’s turning campuses into safe spaces where every student can thrive without fear. But her fight doesn’t stop there—Khairunnisa is building a movement that transcends institutions, inspiring systemic change in how we prevent and address sexual violence.
This is more than a conversation about activism. It’s a call to action—a reminder that one voice, unwavering and determined, can ignite a revolution. Will your voice join hers?
