She said "a great deal is as of now being done to propel approach opportunities and the privileges of ladies and kids in Africa, there is however a considerable measure of grounds we are yet to cover, which requires the earnest requirement for ladies to organize crosswise over geologies and occupations – to extend our participation and grow new stages for coordinated effort in the quest for our shared objective of crushing patriarchy and misogyny in Africa. This is one of the objectives of this activity"
