Scheaffer Okore
Trustee
“Joining The Circle is an honour because of the deliberate work that the organisation is doing in trying to make the world a safer place for women and girls. I hope that my feminist fan can continue the work of fanning The Circle’s fire as we demonstrate the magic that be created when diversities converge in alignment. Ending gender-based violence and powering women economically is the work of true feminist conviction at the core of The Circle’s team, which I am proud to be a part of.”
