ImpactHer: Global Africa Women's Sustainability Conference Wraps Up in Abuja

Recently at the Global Africa Women's Sustainability Conference hosted by ImpactHER and African Union (April 29-May 1), an important message resonated: The green economy (sustainably produced goods), a sector worth $3 trillion today and projected to reach $5-6 trillion soon, is an area African women must be strategically positioned to benefit from.

Despite their significant and central role in Green economies, they earn marginally from it and remain at the fringes due to barriers to compete in major markets where the key players are.

The conference focused on strategies to bridge these gaps through discussions on finance, trade, contracts, and packaging. It called for African women to be in the forefront of the green economy, in line with the 'Africa we want' under AU's Agenda 2063.

Attending were women entrepreneurs, diplomats and heads of ministries from 50 countries including Nigeria.

One young woman accused an anonymous man of raping her (for which she survived drinking Sniper) and created a fake support account, successfully mobilizing influencers, celebrities, and activists to rally behind her. In the second story a young man was specifically named and immediately arrested. Only God knows the psychological and physical trauma and abuse he endured before the young woman who accused him finally confessed that the entire story was a lie. While these incidents may point to underlying mental health issues and perhaps, carefully thought out wicked plans to harm others, it does not change a fundamental truth: rape should never be a joke. Many men have been canceled for making rape jokes and many more are in prison from false accusations . The lies of these women trended so wildly that it triggered action from the police, healthcare providers, an...
