I have got a lot from boda boda riding. It has helped me pay school fees for my child, to look after my well-being and my home.
Boda boda rider, Uganda
In Her Words: Drive
To work, to care:
Women define a broader
Silence. Take being alert:
The most impending factor is
The girls, so they can search for
New leadership within themselves.
Driving is easily a job done by women:
Women are written on the road.
The role that I’m in now, I don’t
Always feel safe. It is a sector
With a lot of acidity.
So ask about my hopes.
Security, especially security. Me,
I get here at 4:40am. I learn when I feel
Like a good woman, I am
An actress and a teacher.
I used to be scared. So,
Through their voices I told you:
The women will go to work.
That’s what’s happening today,
It’s already happening, dear:
All this hour, women are performing
Maneuvers. We choose
Happiness as our duty.
Poem composed by Dylan McNulty-Holmes, drawn from the words of remarkable women brought together by this project
