 My name is Tanya Nyanyati. I'm 23 years old. I'm currently doing my Master's in Academic Science at Betts University. I'm hoping to gain exposure into the research, into the academic sphere and I'm hoping to network with other researchers that are in the same field as I am. I've been programs like the ASI program are important in terms of encouraging researchers and young scholars into researching and also pushing them that it's not just about graduating to do their dissertation but also to do research to contribute. My research is talking about measuring woman empowerment for South African countries. We are using demographic cars on surveys and we are looking at the Southern African region. So what we're trying to do here is to measure women empowerment using a statistical method which hasn't been done before. What this research will do is that is to identify which indicator is least and which one is more important and then we invest in the one that is more important because Southern African region is not is a poor region so for cost-based analysis and for resource maximization it's important for us to identify where we can maximize it. I would like to see the gender inequality decrease and I would like to see a more balance between the male and the females in the future.
