S2 Episode 5 - How financial freedom is the key to girls’ empowerment in Africa

In Tanzania, gender equality remain a policy priority, but progress is slow. Enter the award-winning Her Initiative , a game-changer that is helping to close the gender gap. This initiative promotes financial resilience and digital inclusion for girls and young women, empowering them to escape poverty and seize more opportunities . Without such innovative efforts, achieving full gender parity could take decades. In this episode of Minding the gap: Conversations on gender, we listen to real-life stories of girls' empowerment from Tanzania. Joining Hanne Knaepen is Lydia Charles Moyo, founder and executive director of the Her Initiative. Lydia talks about the injustice she faced among her peers in school, which led her to set up an award-winning non-profit organisation that aims to achieve financial independence among girls and women.
