All Women’s Right Not Some Women’s Right
Kate Ekanem Hannum, Founder - Inspire Community Network (ICON)
There’s been a good amount of historical and current movements that address all forms of gender inequality confronted by women from around the world. It is remarkable and worth noting to compare and realize the profound changes that now influences women's empowerment due to this effort. More than ever, we now have a significant number of women in politics, in business, engineering, science, and even in education, and while this is a breakthrough in our time, there are still women, with stories, yet unheard.
This presentation will focus on featuring those stories to enable a robust conversation that strives to recognize the differences in the various forms of challenges that affect women from developing countries. It will conclude by highlighting the works of ICON in West Africa.
When Kate Ekanem Hannum started Kate Tales Foundation in 2012 (now known as Inspire Community Network), she was driven by an urge to create solutions that address extreme poverty in rural communities around Nigeria. She wanted a platform that would empower women to be financially independent, advocate for education for girls, and ensure that young writers’ voices were heard on global podiums.
Inspire Community Network (ICON) started in 2012 when she was 18, and since its inception, ICON has worked with several communities for more than five years in the implementation of innovative solutions to pressing societal issues. ICON currently boasts the most ethnically diverse presence in Nigeria, coordinated by youth in various regions: South West, South East, North Central, North-West, and South-South of Nigeria.
Ha habido una buena cantidad de movimientos históricos y actuales que abordan todas las formas de desigualdad de género que enfrentan las mujeres de todo el mundo. Es notable y digno de mención comparar y darse cuenta de los profundos cambios que ahora influye en el empoderamiento de las mujeres debido a este esfuerzo. Más que nunca, ahora tenemos un número significativo de mujeres en la política, en los negocios, la ingeniería, la ciencia e incluso en la educación, y si bien esto es un gran avance en nuestro tiempo, todavía hay mujeres, con historias, aún no escuchadas.
Esta presentación se centrará en presentar esas historias para permitir una conversación sólida que se esfuerce por reconocer las diferencias en las diversas formas de desafíos que afectan a las mujeres de los países en desarrollo. Concluirá destacando los trabajos de ICON en África Occidental.
Cuando Kate Ekanem Hannum fundó Kate Tales Foundation en 2012 (ahora conocida como Inspire Community Network), la impulsaba la necesidad de crear soluciones que abordaran la pobreza extrema en las comunidades rurales de Nigeria. Quería una plataforma que empoderara a las mujeres para ser financieramente independientes, abogar por la educación de las niñas y garantizar que las voces de los escritores jóvenes se escucharan en los podios mundiales.
Inspire Community Network (ICON) comenzó en 2012 cuando tenía 18 años, y desde su creación, ICON ha trabajado con varias comunidades durante más de cinco años en la implementación de soluciones innovadoras para problemas sociales apremiantes. Actualmente, ICON cuenta con la presencia con mayor diversidad étnica en Nigeria, coordinada por jóvenes en varias regiones: Suroeste, Sureste, Norte Central, Noroeste y Sur-Sur de Nigeria.
