SAH Humanities Forum: “Global Gender Issues: How Tradition, Culture and Religion Impact Empowering Women and Girls”

Sr. Francisca Ngozi Uti, the founder and Executive Director of the Centre for Women Studies and Intervention (CWSI) in Abuja, Nigeria, is among the finalists for the Opus Prize 2024 worth US$1.2 million, described as “one of the world’s largest faith-based awards for social entrepreneurship.” The Centre for Women Studies and Intervention that Sr. Ngozi oversees seeks to help women become politically aware, socially responsible, and economically independent for greater autonomy and parity with men. The Abuja-based entity also advocates for the inclusion of women in government roles and for legal provisions to combat gender-based violence in five Nigerian States.

This event is co-sponsored by the Intercollegiate Feminist Center of the Claremont Colleges.
