An advocate for youths, William Ikemba, has launched the “Perspective Podcast”.

On the podcast, he has interviewed global leaders in international development, giving them a platform to share their perspective on what needs to be done regarding women and Girls Rights.

As an intern at a global NGO called Engenderhealth, William, has studied the devastating impact of the gender inequity in various parts of the world.

As a result he has decided to become a Global Women and Girls Rights activist and encourages other young men to follow in his footsteps for the greater good.

Ikemba’s upbringing gave him a passion for advocacy, a fiery will to stand up for others and he wants to spend a significant part of his life advocating for women and girls’ rights in Africa and finding ways to fund their empowerment.

He believes that Africa’s suppression of 50% of its population is not only unjust but a root cause of many of the continent’s problems including low life expectancy, low literacy rates and low GDP.

He will be making a case for resource mobilization for the gender-related sustainable development goal #5 at this years United General Assembly and other key international fora.

“I aim to make a historic difference in the general trajectory of Africa and protecting Women and Girls rights is a major pillar in that progress,” Ikemba said.
