Celebrating the African Woman: A Multi-Functional Human Species

Women are intelligent creatures entrusted with the divine duty to act as a complement to man. However, because of their outstanding presence, many women performed excellently and exceeded their formal duties. Countless women around the world are multi-functional human species and play a dual role in the duties of men and women with exceptional successes. The list includes women such as Teresa, Florence Nightingale, Millicent Fossett, Emilyn Pankhurst, Marie Curie, Emily Wilding Davison, Rosa Parks, Maya Angelo, Gloria Steinem, Margaret Thatcher, Oprah Winfrey, Oprah Winfrey, Emma Watson, Malala Yosphavay, Clara Barton, Edith Wharton, Dorothy Levitt, Fonmellayu Ransom Cutie, Asantewa, Winnie Mandela, Margaret Ekbo, Miriam Makeba, Queen Nenga and Ruth Williams. In modern Africa, women struggle and set their feet firmly in all areas of development. They have shown that they deserve recognition as much as with their male counterparts. Today, it is not empirically clear that gender equality is less, as women in the past and more, for the time being, have shown through their brilliant leadership and practical skills that the slogan is truly true that what a man can do, a woman can do and perhaps can To do better.

Unfortunately, in many parts of Africa, given the long-standing dark mentality that must be confined to women at home, women's rights are still trampled. The ancient tripartite systems of traditional, traditional and religious views that undermine women's freedom to explore their potential to promote development in Africa make it difficult to erase all discriminatory practices. Inequality in terms of education and participation in key decision-making areas of development is a painful plague on the African continent. It is estimated that three years after the 2015 Millennium Development Goal of achieving universal education, female enrollment in primary education is still 67%. It is deplorable that forced and compulsory marriages of young girls continue to prevail in many communities in Africa. Because of poverty, many of these vulnerable young girls are exchanged for money in these early and forced marriages. African Governments must make great efforts to develop and enforce all legislation against child marriage and all forms of inhuman and degrading treatment against women! Human rights activists and agencies must intensify their efforts to launch an awareness-raising and awareness-raising campaign for women's equal rights. Comprehensive education should be pursued by ministries of gender, women and children, as well as by civil rights ministries and agencies, to enlighten parents, especially illiterates, about the need to change their misconceptions about the education of the girl child.
At a time when feminist theory is being applied today in many communities around the world, Africa is still falling in the dark regarding the need to promote women's participation in key development areas. Admittedly, there is a great deal of effort in this regard because some women have had all the difficulties to rub their shoulders with their male counterparts in previously forbidden areas such as military, politics, education and many other areas. Today, women's voice and influence are expressed in all areas of development. It is frustrating that women's roles are often not recognized, evaluated and rewarded. It is time for African leaders and agencies to strengthen efforts to grant concessions and offers to women to enter all narrow development tunnels. This session must be followed with all seriousness and urgency because women are and will remain excellent examples of hard work and diligence for work and responsibility. The first prehistoric engineers dating back to three million years ago were discovered to be women. Women are observed to perform multiple tasks and achieve greater success. At the local level, they play roles as wives, mothers, family, cooks and domestic workers. Professionally, they play diverse roles in economics, politics, education, security, agriculture, health and other related development areas. We can say with certainty that if women are granted equal opportunities with men, they can perform as well as qualitatively as their record shows.

African women are geniuses and should be appreciated as such. Their great roles in African societies in our personal and community development are unparalleled. Their huge presence can not be filled by any man. Let us celebrate African women with words and deeds. Let us encourage and commend all hardworking African women to motivate them to continue to play their indispensable roles, which have made Africa a shining beacon. In fact, African women are a valuable gem in beauty and responsibility, a multifaceted human race!
