Hello Venturer,Interesting things are happening across Africa; good, very good, and not-so-good things, and it is our mission to keep you abreast of these things. First, let me share some good news; COVID-19 vaccinations are in full swing across Nigeria and Africa. Have you been vaccinated?As I write this, over 320,000 people have been vaccinated in Nigeria. This is great news, considering the initial scepticism and hesitancy that greeted the news of the vaccine's arrival in the country. Ghana has administered over 470,000 doses, while Rwanda has administered 345,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines. So far, Africa has administered 7.7 million doses of the vaccine. Now, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it is important you know this - while the world is making great strides in terms of women empowerment and gender parity, Egypt is doing the moonwalk. Under a newly proposed law, women in Egypt cannot travel without the permission of a male guardian. If you think that is shocking, wait till you see the other regressive ideas included in the proposed bill. We have a short explainer video that addresses it. It is ironic that while the rest of the world celebrated the progress and achievement of women on International Women's Day not so long ago, women in Egypt are fighting to maintain their rights today. It is our hope that this proposed repressive law does not see the light of day.Hadassah EgbediWriter & Multimedia Content Creator
