Welcome!
Hello Helen. Welcome to the PulseWire community. You have found the perfect community to achieve your goal of networking with new contacts and engaging on women's issues. Your background sounds very interesting. Do you work in an educational institution? Or with a non-profit? I look forward to hearing more about your experience.

Hi Daniela, Thanks for your
Hi Daniela,
Thanks for your comments. To answer your question, my institution is a government owned educational/research institute. I guess we do more of the latter; hence my interest in so many burning issues which need to be interrogated even more than is presently the case in my society. But more importantly, I interact with the youths in my community and my local church, less priviledged, abused women, teenage girls and unwanted pregnancies. This is so because of the groups to which I belong in the Church and as a lawyer in the community. It will be nice to share our mutual experience.
Cheers,
Helen
