Headaches, high temperatures and feeling hot and shivery: these are just some of the symptoms that millions suffering from malaria face each day. Malaria – one of the world’s oldest and deadliest diseases - continues to devastate populations, particularly in Africa, with the continent accounting for over 90% of the global malaria burden. As a major block to all forms of development, malaria continues to cause needless suffering, dismantle families, and hinder economic growth.

I never once thought about this concept called feminism. In my early teen and adult years, I was as clean a slate as a newborn baby would be. Women struggles and pains had been so normalized around me that I never stopped for a minute to think whether things were right or wrong.

When I call myself a feminist, many people think it’s senseless because I’m a pan-Africanist too. In the eyes of many, pan-Africanism and feminism are two parallel lines that run in two opposite directions – they never meet.

Feminism is wrongly seen as a Western ideology. I always challenge this notion which I in fact call a myth. I think considering feminism as such is evidence of one’s shortsightedness.
