Adrianna Sosa

Vice President (Haiti – Caribbean)

Adrianna Sosa (she/her/hers) is a young woman activist born and currently living in Haiti. She has been a board member of the World YWCA since 2019 and is currently serving a second term representing the region of the Caribbean. For the past three years, she has been committed to peacebuilding and community development, working at a grassroots level as a project coordinator at the YWCA Haiti. Her work is primarily centred on implementing projects aimed at preventing and addressing gender-based violence for girls and young women coming from increasingly at-risk communities of the metropolitan region of Pétion-Ville and its surroundings. A key component of these projects is creating awareness of mental health and well-being, providing professional psycho-social support to victims of violence and abuse, as well as providing young women with adequate professional skills to be autonomised and enter the labour market. Additionally, she is currently pursuing her Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and has hands-on experience in institutional governance, financial management, resource mobilising, and program development. Adrianna is committed to advocating for social justice, gender equality, and a peaceful world that can only be sustainable if women are at the forefront of it.
