I am a medical doctor and researcher. An active advocate for change.
Nigeria
I am looking forward to when gender equality will become a reality where I come from. When women will be able to inherit/own landed property and exert control on their reproductive and sexual health. When they will realize they are agents of change who can make useful contributions to society without any cultural, social or economic barrier. When the men in my society will see women as equals and not threatened by their achievements.
I am also passionate about health system reforms in my country. Oh!!May my leaders realize that right to health is a fundamental human right that must be made accessible to all.I am looking forward to the day Health Empowerment will become a concept and not just a prayer.
