De la survie au leadership : les femmes en situation de crise | Aishatu Kabu | TEDxMaiduguri

Dans l'État de Borno, au nord-est du Nigeria, l'intervenante a été déplacée pendant l'insurrection de Boko Haram. Elle soutient que les femmes dans les crises humanitaires ne doivent pas être réduites au statut de survivantes. Elle retrace son parcours jusqu'à la fondation de ZEGCAWIS, dont les actions portent sur l'éducation des filles, la santé menstruelle et l'autonomisation économique. Elle appelle à un leadership féminin qui façonne l'avenir.

• L'intervenante partage son expérience de déplacement pendant l'insurrection de Boko Haram.
• ZEGCAWIS mène des projets sur l'éducation des filles, la santé menstruelle et l'autonomisation économique.
• Le leadership des femmes en crise doit bâtir des institutions et entraîner un changement durable.

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. Aishatu Kabu is a civic leader and gender advocate from northeastern Nigeria committed to empowering women and girls as agents of change. As Founder and Executive Director of ZEGCAWIS and Director of Women for NECSOB Borno, she champions girls’ education, GBV prevention, women peace and security, and accountable governance.
