Build on the strength of women! - Thelma Awori

You have to keep your eyes sharp all the time and be very analytical. When you see something coming, you have to ask what it is and how it will affect women.

Rural women inspire me. They are the passion of my life and I will do everything and anything for their empowerment. Their knowledge and expertise are crying for a receptive ear, for powerful questions that will unearth and challenge their wisdom.

I call myself a feminist because I am staunch believer in justice for women and the validity of women’s perspectives.
