Millennium Fellowship Project: Graceful women Empowerment
My project is one of the 17 global objectives set by world leaders in 2017 and aimed to be accomplished by 2030, SDG 5. SDG 5 focuses on gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. It aims to abolish discrimination, early child marriages, gender bias in education, early marriages, unequal representation of women in policy, and violations of women's and girls' rights. SDG 5 is a crucial objective to support since gender equality is a human right, excellent for the economy, makes our communities safer and healthier, and, gender equality is the cornerstone of world peace and sustainability. my goal is to be an ambassador for empowering women and girls in different communities and societies to help reduce gender inequality.
