CLIENTS SAY
Viktoria was one of the first persons to bring a positive approach to engaging men and boys in gender equality.
In partnership with Promundo, she organized creative and impactful photo and information exhibits at numerous high-level events at the World Bank, UNFPA, UNICEF, and other international events related to gender equality – exhibits that always brought tremendous added value.
She has expertise in creating visionary material that is solution-oriented rather than problem-focused and thinks outside the box, always presenting new ideas for communication that increase the target group’s willingness to take in new information. I recommend her highly and without reservations.
