Africa-Press<\/a> – Namibia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Youth leader Ester Simon has been appointed as president of the Pan African Female Youth Leaders (PANAFYL), with the main aim of addressing issues confronting women and children on the continent. PANAFYL is a non-governmental organisation seeking redress against all oppressive tendencies, unfriendly policies, and harmful practices, either governmental or traditional against women and children everywhere in Africa and beyond.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the very first time in history, the presidency is coming to southern Africa and Namibia. We want to see female youth inclusivity in all spheres across the African continent and beyond,\u201d Simon told New Era. Simon takes over from Nigeria\u2019s Ekemini Inyang who has been at the helm of the association since its inception in 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a #EmpowerAfricanWomen campaign which I plan to launch across all the 25 African countries where we currently have branches. We want to see female youth inclusivity in all spheres across the African continent and beyond,\u201d said Simon. The former student leader said as a women\u2019s organisation, their mission is to promote the development of Africans relying on the potential of African people in unison, especially the women.<\/p>\n

\u201cPANAFYL seeks to represent all African women in resolving matters and facilitating a healthy interaction with relevant societal stakeholders across and beyond Africa,\u201d stated Simon.<\/p>\n

\u201cPANAFYL commits its efforts and resources to the activities that foster the growth and development of the African people, especially women and children in the area of health, education, leadership, science and technology, economic empowerment (entrepreneur), sanitation, and social justice. We will not stop until we all achieve a common goal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
