 The Pride and Non-Governmental Organization has partnered with the OJUDU Foundation to launch our mentorship programme for young women aspiring to become leaders. The initiative, founded by Jennifer Okeke OJUDU, is dedicated to empowerment, development and advocating for female inclusion and amplifying female leadership. The Pride aims to empower and develop young women in leadership. Building an entire network that will stand as the forefront while as a key stakeholders for women, that is young girls, girls at secondary school level, girls at university level, and women who are up and coming can plug into, but you can't plug into something that doesn't exist. So that's what we're doing here today. We're creating, we're starting the creation of a network that all female leaders, successful female women, or successful women who are female and are thriving in their different ecosystems or in their different tribes, so to speak, can stand at the forefront and work together to create. So these young girls and young women and women who are up and coming and trying to achieve this level of success can plug into and have a platform to do so. Now, Judi Mellifo, our group member, I lighted the opportunity for women to unite for mentorship and leadership positions. PowerBrund seems to be an amazing opportunity for women to come together and help women that are coming underneath them and also create like an opportunity for women to network, share their experiences and share their connections with each other. I think that women today feel a lot more empowered. A lot of times our society has made women feel that they should be seen and not heard and their voices are not valid, but I think in 2024 more women and girls feel the need to speak out and I think that's something that we all need to encourage in our homes, with our families, with our daughters, with our wives, encourage women to be able to speak their minds. Now also speaking, Dr. Ju Agomal, also a group member, emphasised that women have not been fully empowered but some progress has been made, emphasised and in need for holistic empowerment. Certain things are being done but we are not there yet and I suspect perhaps the follow-up question will be what then should we be doing, what should we be looking at that we are not looking at. So it is important to see this from a very holistic perspective and what do I mean by that? You ask yourself what are the critical things that are needed? There is the legal part of it which is do we have the legal framework that makes it an enabling for women to do what they need to do? Do we have the kind of space that a woman can feel okay to go into any kind of work that they need to go into irrespective of what stage in their life that they have? And the answer is that we don't have all of that being there. Secondly, we have access to capital, access to resources. The answer you will, I'm sure you will also be able to answer. Certain things are being done.
