Empowering sustainability in Ghana

Sometimes, it is not so easy for people to embrace sustainability instead of some “not so sustainable” practices which could be beneficial as far as their income is concerned.

Without a single doubt, sustainability holds the key to food security along with education, woman empowerment and gender equality. Sulemana Hibbatullah Wunpini is a gender activist fighting for women and girls’ rights while seeking for equality. She constantly seeks for opportunities to speak in public for everything she stands for in order to empower youth towards a more sustainable environment where human rights are equal for every human being. Hibbatullah works currently as Women and Youth Empowerment Coordinator at SEDARVP Ghana – a youth focused organization set up to create supportive platforms to challenge creativity in the areas of human rights and education, social change, volunteerism and rural development. Under this role, but also in the capacity of President of Sustainability Week Tamale –which is being organized to run in Ghana this October– she talks to us regarding the connection between food security and sustainability in all of its forms – aka not only environmental, but social as well.
