At my first enrollment, I had hoped for 10 girls. 100 came.
The work she does is incredibly important. It's super inspiring to see that harmful traditions can indeed be changed, and changing them will transform the whole community into a better version of itself. I love how Ntaiya's work includes and involves the whole community so that they can instantly see the benefits of change. The world needs to see this and I see her as a hero. This continued narrative that women need helping and empowerment because they for some reason need this more than men is just continuing to make women feel less than men. It doesn't empower them at all. Empower a PERSON and empower a community.
