Da sobrevivência à liderança: mulheres em crise | Aishatu Kabu | TEDxMaiduguri

No estado de Borno, no nordeste da Nigéria, a palestrante foi deslocada durante a insurgência do Boko Haram. Ela defende que as mulheres em crises humanitárias não devem ser vistas apenas como sobreviventes. Ela descreve seu caminho até fundar a ZEGCAWIS, cujo trabalho comunitário aborda a educação de meninas, a saúde menstrual e a autonomia econômica. A fala propõe que a liderança feminina vá além da resposta à adversidade e ajude a moldar o futuro.

• A palestrante compartilha sua experiência de deslocamento durante a insurgência do Boko Haram.
• A ZEGCAWIS atua em educação de meninas, saúde menstrual e empoderamento econômico.
• A liderança das mulheres em crises deve construir instituições e gerar mudanças duradouras.

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.
