As part of this year’s Girls in ICT Day celebrations, PAGED Initiative in partnership with iT Central screened our documentary Buri Na at Mega School in Dutse, Jigawa; attended by MAP Girls Kano’s Sakeena Elyakub and Saadatu Abdullahi.
Sakeena opened with an introduction to PAGED Initiative and the story behind the film. After the screening, Saadatu led the girls through a discussion with questions like what did they notice? What moved them? What would they do differently for the girls around them?
The responses were honest and hopeful. Girls who had never encountered the barriers shown in the film left the room more aware, more grateful, and more determined. A teacher added her voice too, reminding the students that the girls on screen weren’t asking for much but a chance to learn.
The session wrapped up with a hands-on computer activity, because awareness is just the beginning.
