Celebrate the power of collective action and women's leadership! ✊🏿✨ Albertina Carlota Simango is a street vendor who is now leading the fight for the rights of informal economy workers in Mozambique. Her story is a testament to the power of organizing and collective action. A vendor for over 30 years, she started humbly, hardly being able to cook and sell her food without being harassed by local authorities. But through organizing her fellow vendors and rising to a position of leadership, she managed to secure a market space and break the poverty cycle plaguing her family. #WomenLeadership #WomenEmpowerment #StreetVendors #LabourRights #WorkersRights
