They’re denying a lot of the pain that women and girls are going through, and just calling it Western influence. - Jaha Dukureh

I am proud to join UN Women in their fight for the rights of women and girls all over Africa. I want to see the day when no parent makes a decision that will change and limit their daughters’ lives. The girls of Africa and worldwide need to know that their future is bigger than they imagine.

I remember feeling silenced and alone,the pain was almost too much to bear.

I can’t tell you the amount of times in a day that I hear that I’m going to hell.
