Rainatou Sow , Marie - France , and Betty Makoni are fighting for equal rights . I see this as an opportunity to really push the agenda of women 's rights in Africa because most of the time African voices are lost in the field . Through their organizations they aim to empower and protect all African women . In 2010 the African Union launched the African Women 's Decade . The campaign promotes female empowerment and gender equality .
