05. Gender equality

I noticed that many girls between the ages of thirteen and sixteen are prone to precocious pregnancies.

Maïmouna is a 16 year old girl, learning in 3rd secundary grade. Her father gave her in marriage to a man who came from France, a rich "modou_modou", who is almost the same age as him, without thinking of the consequences.

Research shows that the concept of gender takes shape between the ages of 3 and 7. Creativity leads to thinking and thinking provides knowledge. Knowledge makes you great without boundaries.

I’m a teacher living at the heart of a community in Benin that still practices female genital mutilation (FGM). In addition to developing policies and raising awareness, we must find stop-gap solutions that can lead to the eradication of this practice.

For girls in Africa, going to school means overcoming many obstacles. How does your organisation, company or department guarantee equal opportunities for girls and women?

Getting rid of pregnant students is not a solution, it is necessary to talk about reproductive health and to have a personalized accompaniment. Because withdrawals are compromising the country's future.

“To be empowered, a woman must have equal education, health, access to land and employment and also agencies that can help them to use those rights, capabilities, resources and opportunities to make strategic choice and decisions”.

She's an icon for courage and responsibility to the young girls of the centre by making her peers aware of the involvement of girls in practical activities.

According to the United Nations, 1 in 3 women have suffered physical and/or sexual violence. Acknowledging the lives and dignity of women who have been victims leads us to recognize the importance of eradicating all forms of discrimination and gender-based violence.

At the age of 25 I left Iran, a country with restrictions on women because of gender discrimination. No one should discriminate against others.
