week 3

My challenges and barriers of creating change in my community are diverse. The most severe one being Gender imbalance. In my community women are still kept behind the doors. We are denied from speaking in public or expressing any developmental views either political, Religious or economic. so this has limited many of us from expressing our views and also to contribute to the voices of those who are already heard. Even to some of us who come out face threats of isolation and denied opportunities to interact with other women.

The present solutions so far we are on mobilisation campaign to organise ourselves into groups. In these groups we tame women through activities like crafts and as we do it we share our experiences of what it means of being a woman. We encourage each other to bring in a new member each time we meet. we also encourage to share with our spouses including the youths. Infact in this way many women a coming up and the group is expanding.

Therefore, with pulse wire i believe my community will thrive and we shall finally overcome the burden of discrimination. We plan to start posting some our testimonies and share with the rest of the world. Also we call upon our fellow women on pulse wireto advise us on possible opportunities of enjoying our rights.
