Women Empowerment in the Yi Ethnicity

Yunnan

Yuxi, located in central Yunnan.In this forgotten town, there is an ancient and exquisite embroidery technique—Yi embroidery. The embroidery of the Yi people has a long, extensive and profound history. A Yi embroidery is a microscopic view of nature, and the wisdom of the women embroiderers is condensed with stitches and threads. However, with the older generation of women embroiderers getting older, the embroidery skills of the Yi people are now fading away, becoming more precious. Under the impact of modern industrial civilization, the traditional handicraft skills face great difficulties in survival. In order to preserve the intangible cultural heritage of ethnic minorities and revive the slowly disappearing skill, a rescue plan is needed.

The International Association for Volunteer Effort (IAVE)

The International Association for Volunteer Effort (IAVE) was founded in 1970 by a group of volunteers from around the world who saw in volunteering a means of making connections across countries and cultures. IAVE is a member of the UN Confederation of NGO's. It has grown into a global network of volunteers, volunteer organizations, national representatives and volunteer centers, with members in over 70 countries, and in all world regions. ASDAN China has become a member of IAVE in 2018 and has been invited to participate in the IAVE International Volunteer Youth Conference to discuss how to provide more valuable volunteer activities for young people.
