De la supervivencia al liderazgo: mujeres en crisis | Aishatu Kabu | TEDxMaiduguri

En el estado de Borno, en el noreste de Nigeria, la ponente fue desplazada durante la insurgencia de Boko Haram. Sostiene que las mujeres en crisis humanitarias no deben ser vistas solo como sobrevivientes. Relata su camino hasta fundar ZEGCAWIS, cuyo trabajo comunitario abarca la educación de las niñas, la salud menstrual y el empoderamiento económico. La charla pide que el liderazgo femenino vaya más allá de responder a la adversidad y dé forma al futuro.

• La ponente comparte su experiencia de desplazamiento durante la insurgencia de Boko Haram.
• ZEGCAWIS trabaja en educación de niñas, salud menstrual y empoderamiento económico.
• El liderazgo de las mujeres en crisis debe construir instituciones y generar cambios duraderos.

Drawing from her personal experience of displacement during the Boko Haram insurgency in Borno State, Aisha Damboa challenges the narrative that defines women in humanitarian crises merely as survivors. Through her journey from displacement to founding ZEGCAWIS, she demonstrates how women can transform lived experiences into community-led solutions, advancing girls’ education, menstrual health, and economic empowerment. She argues that women's leadership in crisis settings must move beyond responding to adversity towards shaping the future, building institutions, and driving lasting change.
