Award winning singer and United Nations/ONE AND Purple
ambassador Waje is launching a worldwide campaign for gender equality and
opportunity. Tagged #AfricanWoman, the singer aims to empower and enable
African women and girls to have a qualitative education through her foundation www.wajesafehouse.org
She made the announcement via her social media pages on
Instagram, Facebook, Google + and Twitter. “The most important and often
misunderstood concept in the narratives for gender equality is OPPORTUNITY. One
of our key goals for this project is to create awareness about the need to
guarantee the same opportunities for education and life choices for the African
girl or woman. To make gender equality a reality in Africa, we must educate and
empower women. I believe that the only way to do this is by being an example
and a voice for our women who do not have the opportunity to speak for
themselves. We must enlighten them. We must let them know that they can be the
driving force of African growth. Through www.wajesafehouse.org , we will be
touring the continent and kicking off a scholarship fund for 5 bright young
women who are unable to fund their tertiary education.”

To kick off the project, on November 16, the respected vocalist will be launching a
global petition simultaneously in cities across the world where women and
like-minded men would add their signatures in support of the equality of the African
woman. The cities for this campaign include Nigeria, Ghana, Rwanda, Tanzania
and Liberia. To participate, people
would be required to sign on banners in designated locations and post selfies
on social media to spread the message.
