Millennium Fellowship Project: The EmpowerHer Project
The EmpowerHer project is a project aimed at sensitizing young girls in the Bowen community on gender equality. The project was focused on empowering and enlightening the girl child on SDG 5; target 5.4- VALUE UNPAID CARE AND PROMOTE SHARED DOMESTIC RESPONSIBILITIES and target 5.5- ENSURE FULL PARTICIPATION IN LEADERSHIP AND DECISION-MAKING. The young girls in the Bowen University International School were educated on the need for them to value unpaid care, promote shared domestic responsibilities and ensure full participation in leadership and decision-making. The team encouraged the girls to participate in leadership activities, making them understand that they can and should be included in leadership. We introduced them to successful women who have broken barriers and achieved success in thier fields.
