SUMMARY:MScSM Sustainability Leaders’ Series 2022: Toufah Jallow
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n*AGENDA BELOW – PARKING IS FREE IN LOTS 4 & 8*\n“It takes extraordinary courage and vision to induce social change in a single lifetime, and Jallow has done just that.” — The New York Times\nToufah Jallow was just nineteen years old, looking forward to a university education, when she entered a presidential competition in 2015 created to support the country’s young women. She won, and caught the attention of Gambia’s dictator, Yahya Jammeh, who, after presenting himself with fatherly generosity, asked for her hand in marriage. When Toufah declined, he drugged and raped her.\nJustifiably terrified, she kept what had happened to her a secret, even from her parents, and fled to Senegal, eventually settling in Canada. In 2019, after Jammeh was deposed, Toufah returned home to testify against him, making a stand for herself and for women on the African continent and everywhere. She continues to advocate for survivors of sexual violence today. Her book, Toufah: The Woman Who Inspired an African #MeToo Movement, is published by Penguin in Canada and Steerforth Press in the United States.\nThe Sustainability Leaders’ Series is proudly hosted by the Master of Science in Sustainability Management (MScSM) program at the Institute for Management & Innovation (IMI).\n* Please register by November 7, 2022 *\n\nDirections to campus (parking will be free of charge in Lots P4 & P8)\n\nAGENDA\n5:00 – 6:00 pm\n\nWelcome & Registration\nInternship Poster Presentations by MScSM graduate students: view displays of innovative sustainability projects with industry partners\nLight refreshments served\n\n6:00 – 7:00 pm\n\nKeynote Address by Toufah Jallow\n\n7:00 – 7:30 pm\n\nClosing Remarks followed by Cocktail Reception\nBook signings by Toufah Jallow\nInternship Poster Presentations resume\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
