African women are crying out and saying we need to prioritize what really matters in the countries. What really matters to African women are economic empowerment and social inclusion—equity. There are a lot of inequalities. COVID, in particular, has brought a disproportionate burden on African women.
We're talking about war in Ukraine, but in many African countries we also have refugee camps. Their priority, in these refugee camps, is employability—skills training, IT training, digital literacy and bridging the digital divide. It's not about prioritizing sex, because that's not of any benefit to the country. We have our ways of taking care of moral values. Family stability is important to Africa, because family is a safety net in Africa.
Thank you for this platform, which lends me a voice on what we really need in Africa.
