- 1. What is the change that you are trying to bring about and why is this important.
To bring a new look on the female gender; to try to revalue the image of the woman in our current society, to show their aptitudes in most of the sectors. Her great participation in the development of the Togolese economy since the colonial times is undeniable. The woman by her small activities participate in the dynamization of the economic sector. However, it is clear that their activities are often marginalized by the country's statistics. In the agricultural sector, women participate enormously in various productions (corn, sorghum, soya beans, etc.) In the processing sector, women manufacture several products (local drinks, local dishes, etc.); they also participate in the service sector.
