Volunteer Stories
Learn about the real experiences of PAWA volunteers and feel the growth and touching moments they have gained in helping others.
“I never thought that I would experience an 8-month long cold war in my marriage. It felt like being trapped in an invisible cage, swallowed by silence and loneliness every day. I tried to find a way out, but I didn't know how to take the first step.
Until I met PAWA and Dr. Miao.
At first, I just attended a psychological growth lecture at PAWA with a try-it attitude. Dr. Fang talked about Psychological Capital in the lecture - confidence, hope, resilience and optimism. She said that real growth is not waiting for the outside world to save you, but learning how to make your heart stronger. This sentence deeply touched me.
With her encouragement, I started to participate in PAWA's psychological support program, learning how to adjust my mindset, how to communicate in a healthier way, and slowly learned to love myself again. Dr. Miao is not only a mentor, she is more like a lamp, giving me guidance and strength when I was most confused.
Now I have not only walked out of that shadow, but also become a PAWA volunteer. I want to pass on the help I have received to more people in need. Because I know that sometimes, a warm companionship and a right word can change the direction of a person's life.
Thank you Dr. Miao, thank you PAWA, for helping me find myself.”

“I never thought that I would have such a deep connection with an organization focused on empowering women. As a fresh graduate, I was not familiar with the topic of "women's rights" and even felt that I might not be able to help. But after meeting Dr. Miao and PAWA, my thoughts changed completely.
The first time I came into contact with PAWA was at a career development seminar. Dr. Miao not only talked about gender inequality in the workplace, but also emphasized the importance of spiritual growth to personal growth. Her perspective made me realize that supporting women's rights is not just a woman's thing, but a responsibility for all of us. She encouraged me to participate in PAWA's volunteer program and told me that men can also play an important role in this process.
With her encouragement, I began to actively participate in PAWA's various activities - helping to organize lectures, planning public welfare projects, and even joining the women's entrepreneurship support team. I have seen too many women hindered in their growth due to lack of resources or social prejudice, but I have also seen that when they get the right support, they can create unlimited possibilities.
Dr. Miao's influence made me understand that true equality requires the participation of everyone. As a man, I hope to use my time and ability to make more people realize that supporting women is not to weaken men, but to create a fairer and more inclusive society. This is not just a struggle for women, but a goal that each of us should strive for.
Thanks to Dr. Miao and PAWA, I have found my own growth direction in the process of supporting others. I hope to do more for the association and encourage more men to join this positive change!”
