THE YOFTAHE SHOW
When:
Sunday December 06 2020 @ 1 : 00 PM EST
What:
As the axiom goes:
"Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime."
"But teach a woman to fish, and everyone eats for a lifetime. "
Four remarkable women will share how girls and women can, and are, overcoming the forces that keep them in poverty.
We will look at the broader systems that prevent women from leaving poverty behind.
From lack of wealth, education, healthcare and cultural burdens, most girls are restricted by the external limitations placed upon them.
Our all women panelist will share from their experiences how Ethiopians can be instrumental in helping girls and women break free of restrictive systems and begin to facilitate their upward mobility.
