Women for years have been on the frontline of movements that have affected change around the world. They have been raising their voice to a cause either by pen to paper, marching in the streets, or taking a seat -- from U.S. Civil Rights activist Rosa Parks, to Liberia’s Nobel Peace Laureates Leymah Gbowee and former President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, as well as Aisha Yesufu, co-founder of Nigeria’s #BringBackOurGirls and #ENDSARS supporter, to #BlackLivesMatters’ co-founders Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi, and now 17-year-old Darnella Frazier, who recorded the death of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer in Minnesota, all these women courageously started these movements to stand against injustices and inequality. On this week’s Our Voices, we spotlight some of these women who were a catalyst of change through activism.
