Women Impacting Nigeria’s Post

Celebrating Women Leadership in Africa: A New Era of Empowerment The Women Empowerment Trust Zimbabwe is proud to celebrate the historic win of Namibia's first female president, Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah who secured a remarkable 57% of the vote. This milestone achievement marks a significant step forward for women's leadership in Africa. The election of Namibia's first female president is a testament to the growing recognition of women's leadership capabilities in Africa. It also underscores the importance of empowering women to take on decision-making roles in politics, business, and other sectors. This achievement is a source of inspiration for women and girls across the continent, demonstrating that with determination and hard work, they too can reach the highest levels of leadership. While significant progress has been made in promoting women's empowerment in Africa, there is still much work to be done. Women continue to face numerous challenges, including limited access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. These challenges can hinder their ability to participate fully in the economy and to take on leadership roles. The Women Empowerment Trust Zimbabwe is committed to promoting women's leadership and empowerment in Africa. We believe that by supporting women's education, economic empowerment, and political participation, we can create a brighter future for all Africans. As we celebrate the achievement of Namibia's first female president, we are reminded of the power of women's leadership to transform communities and nations. #WomenLeadership #WomenEmpowerment #AfricaRising #WomenInPolitics #GirlPower #WomenInspiringWomen #LeadershipGoals #EmpoweringWomen #WomenBreakingBarriers #NamibiaFirstFemalePresident #WomenMakingHistory #Wempower

Africa’s Women’s Day, celebrated every July 31st, is a day to honour and acknowledge the vital role women play as the backbone of our economies and their significant contributions to Africa’s inclusive growth and sustainable development agenda. This year, we honour 20 trailblazing women leaders at the helm of country and regional offices of multinational corporations and organizations in Africa. These women are breaking barriers and leading as role models for emerging and future women leaders. Although Women CEOs in Africa are rare, occupying only 5% of the top positions, according to McKinsey’s Women Matter Africa report (2016), these phenomenal women leaders from across diverse sectors including, banking, technology, and telecommunications have made it to the top, inspiring us all. Look out for the full list and celebrate Africa’s Women’s Day with us. #Africa #Womensday #AWCN

 A powerful legacy of women's leadership stretches back centuries in the whole of Africa. In many pre-colonial societies, women weren't simply present, they were central figures in leadership, peacebuilding, and community development. This rich history stands in stark contrast to the stereotype of women as passive victims. This legacy continues to inspire. Today, African women are actively participating in shaping the continent's future in the economy, peacebuilding, governance, environmental protection, and political spheres. Despite challenges, they are leading the way through collectives, movements, and grassroots organisations. AFWAG recognizes this incredible strength and resilience. We believe African women deserve the space and support to fully exercise their rights, participate in decision-making at all levels, and thrive in all aspects of life. We honour the powerful legacy of women's leadership on the continent through: Leadership Development Programs: We offer a suite of programs designed to equip women with the skills and knowledge to become powerful changemakers. Movement and Community Building: We foster a connected network of leaders and organisations, fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing for unified action. Resource Hub: A central portal providing access to resources, information, and connections, empowering locally driven movements. Advocacy: We champion policy changes that create a supportive environment for social entrepreneurs and promote gender equity. 🌐 https://lnkd.in/grfiMtEw #GenderEquity #AFWAG #networksforchange #afwagnetwork

I went back to my archive and saw this photograph I had scribbled my simple vision on at a certain conference. On that photograph, I wrote: “𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀. 𝗜 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗡𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲.” At that moment, I had no concrete plan to train 155,000 women in Nigeria-I never saw that coming!. It was merely a dream, a spark of hope and ambition, ignited by the powerful experiences and lessons I had accumulated over the years. Fast forward to today, that dream is on its way to becoming a reality. Through my initiative, the Teach Women Digital Skills program, I am on a mission to empower 155,000 women across Nigeria with essential digital skills. This program aims to bridge the digital divide, provide economic opportunities, and uplift communities by equipping women with the knowledge and tools they need to thrive in the digital age. The journey has been challenging but profoundly rewarding. Every day in my role as an administrator, I witness the transformative power of education and technology, and I am constantly reminded of the immense potential that lies within each individual. The stories of women who have gained new skills, started businesses, and improved their livelihoods are a testament to the impact we can achieve when we dare to dream and act upon those dreams. Here are a few tips to help keep your dreams alive: 📌Clarify your vision and regularly revisit it. 📌Stay committed and dedicated to your goals. 📌Embrace continuous learning and personal development. 📌Build and nurture a supportive network. 📌Celebrate small achievements and milestones. 📌Cultivate resilience to overcome challenges. 📌Draw inspiration from various sources. 📌Give back by sharing knowledge and experiences. Leave in the comment section how you keep your dreams alive. 𝑴𝒚 𝒏𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝑮𝒍𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝑶𝒌𝒐𝒏, 𝑰 𝒂𝒎 𝒂 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝑨𝒅𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓,𝑬𝒙𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑨𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂 𝑺𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑬𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒖𝒓.
