What does it actually take to shift gender norms in East Africa — without a big budget, a large team, or waiting for systemic change?
In this episode, the host Resty sits down with Martha Kibwana, a Tanzanian gender equality advocate and co-founder of multiple youth-centred initiatives, to talk about what real, grassroots change looks like on the ground.
Martha shares how she builds self-confidence in young girls, why involving men is essential to gender equality, and how practical education — not grand policy — is creating ripple effects across communities. She also opens up about the unspoken barriers East African women still face: access to education, reproductive health, and economic opportunity.
Martha has been nominated for the prestigious East African Youth Awards. This episode is her blueprint.
This one is for the changemakers, the educators, and every young woman who’s been told to wait.
