The Sahel has been confronted for several years with a series of multifaceted crises.

And that's not all, people under 30 are not heard enough in the public space, even though they represent nearly 65% ​​of the population.

This is where the essential role of the media comes in, because it is very important to echo all these initiatives and actions supported and defended by Sahelian women.

These young girls and women can thus express their ambitions and frustrations, while contributing to the inclusion and reconciliation of populations, essential things in conflict zones. 

Head to Mali, Burkina or Chad, where projects aim to promote and involve Sahelian women in public debate.
