This week, our success story doesn’t need too much explanation – it’s about the power of empowering women. Rather than going through all the facts and figures, I just want to share two videos, and a quote.
The Girl Effect – why it’s so important that we invest in women
Tukaeje – one woman’s story
And Kofi Annan – former Secretary General of the UN, who said:
There is no tool for development more effective than the empowerment of women. No other policy is as likely to raise economic productivity, or to reduce infant and maternal mortality. No other policy is as sure to improve nutrition and promote health -- including the prevention of HIV/AIDS. No other policy is as powerful in increasing the chances of education for the next generation. And I would also venture that no policy is more important in preventing conflict, or in achieving reconciliation after a conflict has ended
