ONU Femmes : la Gambienne Jaha Dukureh devient la première Ambassadrice de bonne volonté pour l’Afrique

A l’occasion de la Journée internationale de la tolérance zéro pour les mutilations génitales féminines (MGF) célébrée ce mardi 6 février, ONU Femmes, le bras de l’ONU pour la défense des droits des femmes, a nommé sa nouvelle ambassadrice de bonne volonté pour l’Afrique, la première du genre. Retour sur son parcours.

Jaha Dukureh est désormais Ambassadrice de bonne volonté d’ONU Femmes pour l’Afrique, indique dans un communiqué de presse l’organisation internationale relevant des Nations Unies et dédiée à la promotion de l’égalité des sexes qui a saisi l’occasion de la Journée internationale de la tolérance zéro aux mutations génitales féminines célébrée ce mardi 6 février pour l’annoncer.
Symbole de la lutte anti-MGF
Et l’annonce de sa nomination ce jour ne relève pas d’une coïncidence. Déjà, il s’agit du tout premier poste du genre au sein de cette instance onusienne qui signe cette année huit ans d’existence et Jaha représente un symbole de la lutte anti-MGF et anti-mariage précoce.
Naturalisée américaine en 2015, elle est née en 1989 en Gambie. Une semaine plus tard, elle se fait exciser. En 2004, elle n’a que 15 ans lorsqu’elle est victime d’un mariage arrangé avec un homme beaucoup plus âgé qu’elle rejoint tout de suite aux Etats-Unis. C’est donc au pays de l’Oncle Sam que la jeune fille de l’époque prendra conscience, quelques années plus tard, de ses droits et signera le début de son combat.

  1. Thank you for writing this awesome article. I’m a long time reader but I’ve never been compelled to leave a comment. I subscribed to your blog and shared this on my Facebook. Thanks again for a great post!

  2. Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

  4. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  5. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

  6. The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

  7. The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

  9. Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

  10. If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
