The SPARK! team were visited in the office by figures from the Association of South East Asia Nations (ASEAN) Young Women Leadership Conference (AYWLC). AYWLC reached out to SPARK! to engage in a discussion that was centred around the issues and challenges that young women experience on the grassroots level.

The Philippines is one of the selected ASEAN countries that AYWLC visited to connect with ASEAN young leaders to talk about these critical issues. This will be addressed during The Pink Dialogue 2016, which is a conference that is being held that centralises the critical economic, social, and political issues that young women are faced with.
