Design Competition: "Women's House in Africa"

The competition aims to design a "Women's House" through symbolic, ecological architecture inspired by local traditions. It is envisioned as a space where associations and various elements of society can meet and discuss issues on equal terms and human rights, thereby fostering the involvement and emancipation of the women's community in support of the territory's social, economic, and political development. Gender equality is not merely a fundamental human right; it is a necessary condition for a prosperous world.

Providing everyone with access, without distinction, to education, medical care, and employment, as well as the opportunity to participate in decision-making processes, promotes a sustainable economy that benefits society and humanity as a whole. Today, in sub-Saharan Africa, Oceania, and Western Asia, girls face numerous obstacles to accessing primary and secondary education due to political and cultural factors.
