She&#8217;s the first elected female head of an African state, and was awarded the 2011 <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nobel_Peace_Prize\">Nobel Peace Prize<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>other women are <strong>at the helm of important companies<\/strong>: some are the entrepreneurs that have created these organizations, like <a href=\"http:\/\/ibukunawosika.org\/\"><strong>Ibukun Awosika<\/strong><\/a>. A graduate from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iese.edu\/en\/\">IESE&#8217;s <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.iese.edu\/en\/global-executive-mba\/\">Global EMBA <\/a>program, Ibukun is the founder and chairperson of The Chair Centre, a market leader in the office furniture and banking security systems industries in Nigeria.<\/li>\n<li>most women are <strong>the ones holding their families together<\/strong>: I have seen women doing construction work in Nairobi. When I showed my surprise, it was explained to me that it&#8217;s not unusual for\u00a0a\u00a0man to turn to alcohol if he\u00a0 loses his job, and then women will do whatever it takes to bring up their children.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And yet, <strong>in many African countries women do not receive the recognition they are due<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>marriage brings women to a more respected status<\/strong> \u2013 they become someone&#8217;s wife and therefore gain the respect owed to him. When people find out a woman is unmarried, they might show disrespect for her. For instance, a female faculty member was teaching a class, and the students were treating her impolitely. At a certain point, she said: &#8220;I wonder what Mr. Her-last-name would think if he heard these things\u2026&#8221; and they immediately began to retract their comments.<\/li>\n<li><strong>when a woman becomes a widow, she loses her status, and may even lose her property<\/strong> to her in-laws depending on how greedy these are. One colleague explained to me that when one of her friends became a widow, she visited my colleague and asked her to keep the deeds to the house, as she was afraid the in-laws would come and claim them. While this may have to do with Africans&#8217; communal mentality and there are various ways in which to interpret it, it&#8217;s an indicator of the status of women.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s about time that the recognition women receive is in line with their own dignity and with the great contributions they make to society.<\/strong> One way to help to bridge the gap is to <strong>share the wonderful stories about great women,<\/strong> as I have tried in to do in the first part of this post.
