There must be women leaders in Africa. Women are the back bones of our nation's and must be respected as such. Women are equal to men and must share the equal development of our nations. They fought in all the liberation struggles, they are our mothers, wives, daughters, sisters and families. They were the first as we all came from a woman. In the beginning was Alpha and Omega. All the things that we achieved in creation, was with the support of our beautiful women..
No women dont need to be leaders, its just your own delusional way of thinking. Men are the leaders like it or not
Feminism is a europeaan/white term, and culture please don't! Find an Afrikan term, and Afrikan language, that relates to Africa!! "Africans Ma'at," The balance must be paramount! Whatever language you want to use Balance is paramount! Our ancient history is there, we do not have to reinvent the wheel! Use that history of Ma'at, (balance, love, reciprocity, truth) should be your model ! We had African women queens who ruled nations like Mekada, Ya Asantawaa, who were warriors, and they and chose not to marry, but more importantly Afrakan queens who were revered at every level of societies in Ancient Africa! The stories are there and those are the examples we need to exemplify! The bottom line, African women are the keepers and the teachers of the culture, and men are the providers and protectors! Meetings must be held with African men and women! Patriarchal is wrong, and must be confronted, and it must be stressed how it destroys Africa to its core and our men have got to change, but not by African "feminism"!! it is evil and divisive! Ma'at is an African woman diety, with a feather on her head. The feather represents balance, when we leave this earth our hearts should be light as a feather! Stop promoting feminism bottom line, it is divisive and not the answer! Trust me!
so much brilliance
Recognizing and collectively seeking to create a movement is well overdue.Great job!
Meklit so happy to see an Ethiopian woman on such platform
i love this!
Women must have a say in all African governance, especially economics, just like in the homes where they have the knowledge of how to run the house.
Thanks Gabriel and Agbogo
Very interesting. Great panel.
Moussoudou did leave Mali. It was great in Ivory Coast, Burkina, Senegal, Guinea and France.
Until the
20th century, men and women living in villages and engaged in agriculture. 95
percent of the people could not read or write, did not vote. Almost at the same
time, men and women were given the right to go to school, to vote and to
develop their personalities. And they got those rights through the development
of science, and feminism has nothing to do with improving the lives of women
and men. Feminism is opposed to children, mothers and housewives. Feminists are
not interested in social guarantees for working mothers and affordable medicine
for pregnant women and children, pensions for housewives. Feminists want to
allowed to kill children (abortion), want to have the
right to humiliate men, housewives and mothers in the workforce. For normal women feminism has created a
lot of problems. If you believe that all people have equal rights,
regardless of health status, sex, race, education, material wealth and age. You
act for equal rights for all people, you're not a feminist. Feminists are not
interested in the rights of the disabled, the poor, the elderly.
Facts over feelings and that's facts!!
This is nonsense. Feminism is separatism.
I agree! As an African diasporan born in amerikkka, this term feminism is a european/white term, I would much rather our Sisters call it African Ma'at, Ma'at, is an ancient African term that entails balance, truth, reciprocity love! We as an African people must find a way to create that balance by an understanding, among women and men, and take upon our roles as the teachers of the culture and the protectors and providers! I would love to see men on that stage to listen and talk about their prospective and listen to our women tell them how patriachy hurts all of us! and the future of our children are at risk! We must talk to each other! All of us!
I meant to say colonization all the way!
