The “Juana Says” video production is complete and set for release in March 2025 through the official USM GAD Facebook page (USM-Gender and Development Office https://tinyurl.com/Gendender-Development) as part of the Women’s Month celebration. The series aims to showcase the strength, resilience, and experiences of women, highlighting their journey of overcoming challenges and proving their worth in society.
In an interview, Prof. Clemen encouraged women to stay resilient, saying, “Life’s journey is uncertain, but if we stay positive and committed, we can keep moving forward.”
Through “Juana Says”, USM GAD aims to create a platform for women to share their stories, inspire others, and continue advocating for gender equality and women’s empowerment.
