ABOUT THE MOVEMENT

The recent struggle to create an ideal society that validates and supports the dreams and aspiration of its members, irrespective of gender differences, needs more stut. Although this movement has come a long way due to the contributions of vibrant men and women through various civil societies and organizations, there is still much work to be done in order to achieve an advanced society that fosters the progress of all. This calls for partnerships and collaborative efforts from various stakeholders and shows the need for the rise of passionate advocates that will commit to the course. GEAM AFRIKA is a platform that has risen to the occasion. With the support of our partners, volunteers, members of the society and other civil organizations, we are making vibrant moves that will cause radical changes and deliver to us the Africa of our dreams. We do this through our awareness and education programs, which aim at eliminating ignorance and challenging barbaric traditions that undermine the female in the society. It is worthy of note that this is one of the SDGs which is vital to provide a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity of the people in our planet, now and into the future. Working together to put an end to all forms of discrimination against all women and girls everywhere is important in creating the ideal society, continent and planet. We have integrated the goals of Gender Equality outlined in the SDGs into this movement and are dogged towards achieving it. Join us!
