Peace for me is when someone is not menaced. Women are important in peace building. As those who are most often the victims, they must be incorporated into peace.
Journalism has always been my passion, but it takes bravery. In 2015, radio was the only way to hear what was happening. As a radio broadcaster, I was able to reach and inform a large audience and get to places that others couldn’t.
I visited one camp, where people – even children and pregnant women, were sleeping on the ground. Suddenly, there was shooting, and I had no idea what to do. I had just arrived and found myself in the middle of it. I realised it was crucial to do this reporting and I had to just summon up the courage.
What I saw inspired me to fight for children to have an education, to protect those who are victims of rape and to fight for peace, justice, and parity for women in government.
