Education encourages girls and women to make decision for themselves, their families and their communities, hence educating them in all issues we are educating the whole regions @teresiakarimi- #ruhusiwa#girlsallowed#girsleducation
So many girls and women are dropping our of school for societal, cultural and political issues. So many of these stories are undocumented to see how deep these norms are causing a huge problem for girls education @ekurebwa #ruhusiwa#girlsallowed#girsleducation
When problem arise that affect the family the first person who struggles in it are girls and women who are seen as answers to the prevailing economic challenges the family is facing @ekurebwa #ruhusiwa#girlsallowed#girsleducation
The church is both a hub and a place of socialisation. The Role of the church is to meet people where they are and stand for the values that bring life and fight for those who are downtrodden. @charitynzegwu #ruhusiwa#girlsallowed#girsleducation
We need the lawmaker and policy makers to partner and co create with young people rather than just invite and consult with young people. The future belongs us and we should be able to vision what the future looks like @ashleeaburnett #ruhusiwa#girlsallowed#girlseducation
When crisis and problems happen the first place budget are cut is actually education and we need to find ways to finance education beyond problems and crisis. @ashleeaburnett #ruhusiwa#girlsallowed#girlseducation
Social media is allowing so many girls and women stories of reality that where are not normally written in mainstream media. We need more and more women and girls speaking and telling stories for their growth. @MellisaMpofu1 #ruhusiwa#girlsallowed#girlseducation
We need more male feminists to help advocate for the cause of education. We need to involve girls in the design and implementation of any interventions around climate changes and education @teresiakarimi_ #ruhusiwa#girlsallowed#girlseducation
A lot of people were asking me 7 years ago when I started and why as a woman are running anything digital @geeekaaay #Ruhusiwa#GirlsAllowed
It's not about that girls can't do it or aren't inspired but I think from my context it's about affordability.
We buy boys tablets and toy-phones but we buy girls barbie dolls and playhouses @geeekaaaay#Ruhusiwa#girlsallowed
Access to Data and wifi is also a challenge that a lot of girls face.
We are able to do more, and we are smarter but the challenge that we have is that we are socialised differently. The wave of change is coming & will break the ceiling @CynthiaWMwangi#Ruhusiwa#girlsallowed
Teachers need to be trained on how to be sensitive and help encourage pregnant girls to stay in school. The community also plays a huge role for girls to stay in school.
Investing in cultural and traditional leaders who become custodians of the whole process to make sure that pregnant girls go back to school. Victimisation is not the way to help pregnant girls access education
In our programming, we are seeing a 100 % pass rate of pregnant girls passing school and we even have a case of one studying Law at the Ezekiel Guti University
Floods always cause a lot of damage to school infrastructure and education is affected drastically. Drought and lesser rains affect Zimbabwe and this, in turn, has adverse impacts on girls being used to source food for the family @JobertNgwenya #RuhusiwaDialogue#GirlsAllowed
Access to Water is becoming an issue in both urban and rural settings and girls spend more and more time at the watering holes fetching water which reduces their time to actually study and learn. @JobertNgwenya #RuhusiwaDialogue#GirlsAllowed
Girls and women once they are capacitated with ICT and digital spaces we will find a lot of tools, and resources being created and built specifically for women and issues and the community.
Africa literally started scrambling for ICT when Covid 19 hit and the focus became the urban centres but then the question became Do we have the capacity to serve ICTs' education even in the remotest areas.
Creating safeguards for the future of education is key because pandemics, conflicts and climate change is happening and we need to the whole community to prepare these issues so that girls can be served.
One Third of population of Africa is actually facing some aspect of climatic shock, conflicts and insecurity, pandemics and poverty. A majority of these people facing these are girls who find themselves not getting to school
GDP We need data and research to know the real challenges around education in Africa. Tracking all this data and students is critical to making sure that every child is getting basic education
Its important to educate the girl child especially the ones in the rural communities because when emergencies and conflict happens they are more prone to the effects of the pandemics @kallonmohamed79#ruhusiwa#girsallowed
Getting to use IEC materials will help teach and prepare pupils around the school in rural spaces so that we can prepare students on how they can respond to emergencies and disasters
We need governments to do intense research on these disaster and emergencies and prepare because rural schools are rarely prepared and they suffer the most from disaster as they are most unprepared already ill-equipped
