SheSaid in Rwanda 2025
Give her a voice!
There are significant numbers of notable women who have shaped the past of African societies, there are innovative African female business women who help to drive Africa’s many economies (formal and informal) and there are everyday realities that women and female children must face due to their gender. In this regard, the Wiki Loves Women initiative celebrates women leaders with the SheSaid drive. This event is organised with a need to improving the visibility of women by creating new or editing already existing English and French Wikiquote entries.
