Last week at Sheraton Addis, Dashen Bank’s “Comprehensive Women’s Empowerment Program” celebrated the power of women in leadership in full force. Three pioneering women, Professor Yalemtsehay Mekonnen, Dagmawit Moges Bekele, and Meaza Ashenafi, took center stage as exemplars of success, demonstrating that competence and capability know no gender.
Professor Yalemtsehay Mekonnen, a trailblaser in cell and human physiology and Head of the Gender Office at the College of Natural & Computational Sciences, Addis Abeba University, has paved the way for women in academia. Dagmawit Moges Bekele, director of the African Union Peace Fund Secretariat at the African Union Commission, embodies leadership across government and international platforms. Meaza Ashenafi, an acclaimed lawyer, women’s rights activist, philanthropy award recipient, and African Leadership Prize winner, represents excellence in law and social impact.
