What are the greatest challenges to women's and young people's health and rights?

Gender inequality: men are the decision-makers at home, and society even in career places discriminates against women. Other challenges include rape, child-hawking (when children sell goods on the streets rather than go to school), and the battering of women.

What actions are you taking to make the world safer and healthier for women and young people?

I am empowering myself with knowledge about these aspects of society so as to help others empower themselves as well.  I am educating colleagues and younger girls on their reproductive health and rights.

What are you dreams for yourself and for the world's youth?

To achieve my dreams in life; to be all I can be; to be able to develop all of the talents within me and use them to the benefit of mankind.
