At the 44th International Conference and AGM, I headed the Rapporteur of the academic section. It was inspired and educative.

SotM Nigeria 2023 ended well to God be the glory. There was a lot of inspiration I got from the conference. I met with new people and the like. During the conference, we the females use it as an avenue to celebrate International Girl’s Child Day. Where I presented a talk on “how to use technology to fight against genital female mutilation”. I liked and explained how to leverage the technology such as 1. Information and Education, 2. Online support and counseling, 3. Create a chatbot, 4. Develop a mobile app that can help in data collection. In the cause of this, a call was put through to a lady who shared her experience at the age of 21, with 7 months pregnancy, her father took her to where she was mutilated. I benefited from the conference as one of the travel grantee. #Unique mappers network Nigeria #HOT #WNhubsummit #Oyomappersteam.
