MY CITY MY VOICE GIRLS DIALOGUE

The Girls Dialogue took place over two days with the participants on the first day coming from schools and the second day girls and young women living on the street and those with limited education who are currently running small businesses. On both days the girls spoke about their current engagement in health and education services and how they would like to be engaged in the future. They also worked together to create tactics for their future engagement.

Some Words from the Girls

“I have understood the problems and challenges facing girls and the reason why girls are not engaged in different issues. Now I am ready to fight for and defend my right of being engaged since I have understood how important it is in bringing development to the community and the nation at large. MYCN’s slogan of HOPE: ACTION: CHANGE has inspired me and I am ready for any opportunity like this.” Zulfa Ismail Mhando, 18 year old student from Pamba Secondary School

“This dialogue has made me to be confident and I will now be participating in meetings and contributing my ideas without fear.” Zainabu Hussein, 17 year old former street girl.
