As said and we
believe "ones a girl guide, always a girl guide." I am a Girl Guide
medical student and this year's General Assembly for the Tanzania
Medical Student Association had an invitation for me!
Guess what?.. The Theme for the GA was "Role of Medical Students in Gender Equality." Therefore, I was invited to present on what WAGGGS is doing on Gender Equality through it's various MO's across the 5 Regions in the World.
It was a powerful experience having to explain to both male and female delegates the positive impact that WAGGGS has been bringing to the World over the past 100+ years.
The sharing opened more ways which both genders can take actions in Advocacy, support and policy making in playing a role in reaching planet 50-50 by 2030. It also brought to reality that there are ways to be a member of the society and to contribute positively apart from being a Medical student, and this way for me is to be a Girl Guide.
As a matter of fact being a Girl Guide and Medical student has made me way better in many ways especially in teaching and giving me opportunities to get involved with my society in a broad and diverse ways both social-economical and cultural aspects. All these aspects of the society affects the health sector in a complex way.
