Johannesburg, South Africa. 3 December 2018.
UN Women’s newest Goodwill Ambassador, Danai Gurira, together with Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, engaged with over 200 young women leaders at the African Leadership Academy, discussing their challenges and experiences within academia and the work force, and in ending violence against women.
"I want young girls to remember the woman who came before them so they know the courage of women the courage inside themselves," Ms. Gurira told the young women.
Aligned with this year’s UN theme, “Orange the World: #HearMeToo”, which seeks to broaden the global conversation and highlight the voices and activism of all survivors of violence and advocates around the world—many of whom are often missing from the media headlines and social media discussions—the event brought together young South African women from all walks of life.
