Wendy Daphne Ochola always had an intrinsic passion for human rights especially for minorities, downtrodden communities and discriminated groups that initiated her path to activism. When it came to fighting for gender equality it was the natural desire for the greater freedoms and mobilities enjoyed by males ‚accompanied with the everyday street calling and the patriarchal structures that make women subordinate to men. The passion grew throughout her interest in the works of Simone de Beauvoir, Bell Hooks and commencing her Gender Studies Minor at USIU-Africa. Raised by a single mother along with two sisters, meant growing up in an all- female household where there was nothing odd about a woman being both the breadwinner and nurturer at the same time. Today, Wendy strongly feels that our society is predominantly focused on the need to enforce gender norms and thus, aims to persist in the struggle of building a framework in which gender equality is nurtured.
