Gender Equality Club Hosts Important Guests

The Gender Equality Club recently hosted two outside guest speakers. The first guest was a local gender activist name Misozi Tembo, who spoke about the “power of using voice”.  Ms. Tembo made key points in her presentation about the nature of gender injustice in the world today. Ms. Tembo provided information on how students can address social justice issues related to gender inequalities in the 21st century.  Students in Grades 6-12 attended this session and participated in asking engaging questions.

The second speaker, Elizabeth Giles, was from a NGO by the name Lubuto Libraries. This organization works on a variety of local community-based projects, including gender equality.  The overall mission of this NGO is to create equitable educational opportunities and reduce poverty. Ms. Giles and her colleague spoke to the Grades 9-11 students about involvement opportunities with Lubuto Libraries. She encouraged and explained a variety of creative ways students can get involved including: social media, technology, theatre, art, and much more.  Students are welcomed to join the Gender Equality Club. We meet every Wednesday during lunch in room C4.
