On International Women’s Day, Former US President Barack Obama has reflected on the future that nations want for their daughters.
His vision is that the future will be the kind that people can live out their aspirations without limits.
Barack Obama shared the list of women who are building that future for the nations.
Have a look
Preethiherman
.@preethiherman is helping women unleash their power to change their societies. As head of the Change.Org Foundation, she’s leading an initiative that combines online tools with in-person organizing, giving women a voice in her native India—and beyond.
Alice Barbe
.@BarbeAlice is helping refugees resettle into welcoming communities in France, offering them job training and language immersion, as well as a place to stay. More importantly, she’s fighting a narrative that suggests our differences are more important than our shared humanity.
SefiraKodjo
And @SeforaKodjo is helping the next generation of women leaders in Africa rise up. Her organization is training and mentoring young women across the continent to adopt a new model of leadership, one that puts gender equality at the heart of economic development.
Barack Obama says that Preethi, Alice, and Sefora are just three of many Obama Foundation leaders who remind us all what International Women’s Day is all about: imagining a world free of artificial ceilings for the next generation—and doing the hard work to get us there.
