I
am so excited to facilitate in the next SAYWF. For me the 2010 SAYWF
transformed me from a mere passenger in the world to an active participant in
change and an agent of change for young women. My interests in young women has
moved further from their representation in movements to their control of their
lives and ownership of their destinies. This enables them have an agenda to put
forth in movements as well as actively participate in creating change. This
means young women are no longer in the back seat, or side seat but in the
driver’s seat, creating change for themselves and people around them. However,
to sustain this active participation, we must learn to share experiences, be
creative, develop one another and learn from others with more experience in
order for us to keep the wheels of change moving and pass it on to others who
can also begin or participate in transforming the world and creating a
permanent space, and an ear for young women today.
