In Senegal, Anta Babacar Ngom, the country's sole female presidential candidate, is making waves in the upcoming election. While her chances of winning may be slim, Ngom's presence is seen as a significant step forward in the ongoing fight for gender equality in the West African nation.
Ngom, a 40-year-old business executive, is a strong advocate for women and young people who have been disproportionately affected by economic challenges, high unemployment rates, and soaring prices. She has pledged to create millions of jobs and establish a women's bank to promote economic independence among women.
