Women's rights are Human Rights!

An educated woman has a positive ripple effect on her health, family, community and society as a whole. Women are pivotal to the success of the communities in which they live
I AM WHO I SAY I AM.
Dream it.
Promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment is at our core.
Welfare of women will be our focus – Discussing, creating awareness and highlighting topics such as:-
A. Rape Crisis – rape is the worst form of violence.
B. Economic Marginalization – refers to the discrimination against women in the economic realm.
C. Political Subordination – in this regard, women do not share the same power and prestige, status and societal position as men. We are not recognized as being of value, no matter how much we do.
D. Multiple Burdens – women, even as they are viewed as having primarily reproductive functions, actually participate in a host of other activities.
Build it.
To remind the superwoman out there that we see you and you inspire us, so Keep on Walking DON’T GIVE UP…..
To inspire young girls to have big dreams and to pursue them no matter what by following the footsteps of superwomen out there!
Empowering women and girls is key to addressing these issues, and critical to the global effort to end extreme poverty. An educated woman has a positive ripple effect on her health, family, community and society as a whole.

In Africa, women-owned enterprises make up as little as 10% of all businesses.

Change is needed!!!
