In Zambia, women are being encouraged to own land and go into farming. It is important for women in Zambia to empower themselves with skills that could bring sustainability to Zambia. Women being confident about themselves and what they can do can help advance development in society. The Arts Paradise Trust International based in Zimbabwe is a program that is designed to bring young women leaders together in Africa. The purpose is to create positive changes in the women’s lives, in their communities and in the world. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) has brought many changes for women in Africa. Promoting gender equality, empowering women, and reducing discrimination against women are just a few changes brought on by the MDG. More women are now being involved in decision making and women are not longer discriminated.
I think that this is great. Women all over the world need to be encouraged to do great things. Figure out their strength and carry them out. The article states that “Women in leadership must challenge and prove to their critics that they have the capacity of taking up leadership roles without any difficulties.” Today there are a lot more men in leadership roles then women, but women are slowly having more leadership roles. Women just need to realize that they can do a job just as well as a male and they need to do it with confidents. There are always going to be critics no matter the gender. I just think that women have to prove themselves a little more than men have to. I think that the MDG is doing a great think for bring women from all over Africa together.
