The Wake UP Queens movement brought together around 50 women on September 5 for the debate titled quotAwakening to Empowerquot. The Ildo Lobo Palace of Culture has been the site of a wide debate on women's empowerment in all its aspects, especially at the economic level. The event included the presentation of three speakers: Leila Portela, specialist in gender equality and tourism, who spoke to us about quotMaternity, postpartum and professional insertionquot, followed by Dúnia Duarte, national coordinator of the quot50 million women have a voice” of ECOWAS addressed the theme “The liberating power of financial independence and finally Nathaly Soares, lawyer and coordinator of the Plus Zise Life movement spoke about “self-esteem”. The workshop brought together several women and men from different age groups and social backgrounds. According to the coordinator of the ECOWAS platform, quotempowering a woman is empowering a societyquot, justifies the official on the fact that the main deficit of rural women in Cape Verde is to combine business money with family expenses. For Leila Portela, this issue is a deficit for all women on the African continent, because they cannot manage their salaries well and know how to do their best, without moving their ordinary salaries, because they assume the embezzlement of money from businesses. for justified family expenses. It should be noted that the movement has had a facebook page since last July and already has 7,000 women in the group. A page that aims to help each other, with exchanges of experiences and explosions in various fields, including the fight to eliminate gender-based violence, the power of economic empowerment and sisterhood with colleagues. Wake Up Queen claims that the second date is very exciting due to the hold of multiple queens. “The speakers were extraordinary, we are queens and we accept nothing less than that, says Mônica Coelho. The movement promises to organize more meetings of the same nature, focusing mainly on the empowerment of the female class.
