" As a Millennium Fellow, I am excited to join a global community of changemakers who
share a commitment to driving positive impact. The work I do is fueled by a belief in
the power of collective action to address the world's most pressing challenges, and
this fellowship provides an incredible opportunity to amplify those efforts and inspire
others to do the same. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: The EquiPeace Initiative

The initiative addresses societal inequalities, such as discrimination based on ethnicity, age, background, or status. We believe that societal dysfunction and criminality are mostly caused by engrained discrimination, in which access to opportunities is frequently based on social standing rather than merit. The project aims to raise awareness of the negative consequences of socioeconomic and ethnic inequality, to reduce these concerns through education. While inequality cannot be eliminated, it can be reduced to establish a more peaceful, merit-based society.

About the Millennium Fellow

Ayomide Emmanuel Akinwale is a bright penultimate-year student of the Department
of Political Science at the University of Ibadan penultimate-year. He is interested in
International Relations as he seeks to explore the field of International Law and
Diplomacy. This stems from his arduous interest in charting the course for global
peace. By extension, this has stirred his interest in understanding how unequal
relations in the International System could negate the actualisation of peace. Following
up from this, he opined that unequal relations among people as well as gender could
negatively affect peaceful coexistence. Thus, he is committed to understanding the
dynamics by which the problem could be alleviated. From high school to college, he is
committed to social justice movements. Ayomide Emmanuel Akinwale seeks to be an
International Lawyer where through his knowledge base combined with International
relations, he would have the adequate repertoire to pursue the UN SDGs
