Seeing with New Eyes! | Jacqueline Asiimwe | TEDxEntebbe

NOTE FROM TED: This talk contains a graphic discussion of child sexual abuse, which some viewers may find upsetting. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdfThere are a lot of things happening in society today. Often, we find ourselves only paying attention to the things that we are comfrtable with and completely ignore the ills of society. Most of the times, the victims are women, we need to see them. Jacqueline is a lawyer, travelist, feminist and a social development thought leader. She is the Founder and CEO of CivSource Africa, a philanthropy support organization, which works to influence philanthropic practice in Africa. She is working to shape narratives about giving, generosity and philanthropy in Africa. She, and by extension, CivSource, does this through storytelling, research on African philanthropy, capacity support to community foundations and advocacy to address the power and resource imbalance in the global philanthropy sector. Jacqueline is the current chairperson of the East Africa Philanthropy Network (EAPN) and also serves on other boards of various social justice organizations. When she is not at work, Jacqueline is a nature junkie and loves any place with water or trees. She is also a prolific reader and loves to dance! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
