"Access to information enhances women’s knowledge about gender equality rights and therefore facilitating them to demand and exercise these rights and freedoms. Information creates and expands a world of opportunity for women to improve their education so that they can effectively participate in economic and political activities. For example, access to information can help women access lines of credit to start income generation activities, expand their markets, increase their productivity, improve their financial literacy, and even empower them to engage in male dominated sectors such as politics and mining. Exposing information about negative effects of gender inequalities to the general population can also facilitate conversations that could lead to collective efforts to reduce these inequalities." - HELLEN #VENGANAI (Founder & Director, #Mambure Trust) #RightToKnow #IPDCtalks #IPDCtalksSA https://www.instagram.com/p/BoI_zymjUl6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r20y0ffyvzep
