"Pick up a camera and tell your story" Sheila Mwanyigha | NairobiTalks

Описание: HOW DO WOMEN DRIVE CHANGE IN KENYA?
This International women day, we will focus on the vital role of women in pushing for positive reforms in Kenya whether it be in business, gender rights and disability activism. Three female changemakers will join our equally impressive host in giving voice to the triumphs and challenges of being a female change maker in East Africa’s most vibrant economy.

The event will serve as a forerunner to the launch of Africa Talks In The Hague later in the evening. The Nairobi edition of Africa Talks will be streamed live on Hague Talk’s social media pages. The event in Nairobi will be attended by dignitaries from both the local and foreign embassies as well as Kenyan civil society actors.

Our aim is also to ensure that the venue is packed to the brim with young female leaders from different fields, professionals and university students. Inspiration on this debut edition of Africa Talks is drawn from the 2019 International Women’s day theme #Balance for Better celebrating how African Women are pushing towards achieving a more gender-balanced world in Africa.
