    I think the report of this student was very interesting, we should respect and appreciate women and each other, I study at the university, my favorite activity is writing an essay, you can see my works on the site, I can even help you with any written works.

    Great inspiration to many. Indeed each and every one of us has a role to play in our communities if change is anything to go by especially when talking about gender equality. I love the presentation Sienna.

    Thank you SO much Joy and Angela! Your words of encouragement and support mean so much to me!
  • I love the video,I like the great work you doing it is very inspiring,we need to lunch more serious campaigns on empowering women globally,so the next generation of women will not experience most of the problems we are going through today.I never know what it means to be economically empowered until I lost all I had to the government of my country.Today I am so happy mentoring and empowering women in rural communities on financial literacy,so they will not experience that same problem I went through,because it was horrible.

    this video is quite inspiring. It is so important and moving that the next generations take the empowering of women seriously. In fact it is through the next generation education that mentalities can and will change and women will be able to be seen as equal as women. If we do not act fast the next generation will be no better than the current one and if progress have been made in the empowering of women, there is still so much to be done. In fact women are still under-educated compared to men around the world, still forced into arranged marriages and still are over-represented in staying at home jobs when it is not by choice. My mother stayed at home, she inspired me to get an education, a job, to become a good mother but to be economically empowered and to not stay home as she did.
