In the age of the digital world, advances have been made towards many sectors. Yet in Indonesia, issues surrounding mental health and sex education (period poverty) have yet to be discussed in the mainstream.

What is Louder Than Words?
Louder Than Words is an annual rally organized by UIWIB. As a part of UIWIB Summit 2021 series of events, Louder Than Words aims to increase youth's awareness and participation to achieve gender equality and positive social change through the content and events that we create with a different grand theme each year.
About this year's theme "Digital Activism & Leadership"
Digital advancement has been the enabler for generation Z to exhibit collective desire for progressive change and collective push for it. Nowadays, youths all over the world are passionately driven by the same broader narratives of political, socio-economic, ecological, and gender justice.
We center our discussions towards current issues as well as pragmatic know-hows that the young generation can implement in their lives or their initiatives to transform the world into a better place for all.
