El tabú del empoderamiento de niñas en África | Chérif Samsédine Sarr | TEDxUDeusto
En su ponencia, Cherif Samsedine Sarr nos reta a abandonar nuestra perspectiva occidental y etnocentrista para reflexionar sobre la solidaridad internacional. Destaca que querer ayudar no solo implica tener ganas de ser parte del cambio, sino también estar dispuestos a comprender las comunidades y la cultura que las rodea antes de intervenir. A lo largo de la charla, explica cómo la empatía y la colaboración respetuosa son claves para el éxito de los proyectos de desarrollo. Muestra cómo muchas iniciativas fracasan cuando imponen soluciones sin entender las tradiciones locales y explica cómo, trabajando desde el respeto mutuo y evitando imponer normas sociales, se pueden lograr cambios significativos.A través de su experiencia en la Fundación Xaley, comparte su labor en la búsqueda de abordar las desigualdades de género de manera sostenible en el tiempo. Inspirado en su propia trayectoria y en la importancia de una comunicación dignificante sobre África, el Dr. Cherif nos anima a cambiar la narrativa sobre la pobreza y a entender la solidaridad internacional como una herramienta de transformación real. Sus palabras nos invitan a reflexionar sobre nuestra manera de actuar, promoviendo una intervención con sensibilidad cultural y compromiso genuino para así generar un impacto duradero en las comunidades más vulnerables.
