Abstract

Expanded feminist narratives on the girl child have paid little attention to how young girls have become agents of their own change and sharers of their own knowledge. In this study, we spotlight girls’ agency reinforced by institutions that transform them from recipient to agents of change and resilience. In this qualitative study, we deploy critical analysis and reflective argumentation to underscore how Women's Research and Documentation Center (WORDOC) of the Institute of African Studies University of Ibadan provided Do-It-Yourself (DIY) tactics to girls aged 10 to 18 between 2018 and 2019 at its annual WORDOC Girls’ Summit. We explore a version of African girlhood aimed at presenting institutional impacts that offer platforms for girls’ self-empowerment and girl-agency in Nigeria.
作为知者和叙述者
关于女童的扩展女权主义叙事很少关注年轻女孩如何成为自身变革的推动者和自身知识的分享者。在本研究中,我们重点关注女孩的能动性,这些能动性得到了将她们从接受者转变为变革和适应能力推动者的制度的加强。在这项定性研究中,我们运用批判性分析和反思性论证,强调伊巴丹大学非洲研究所妇女研究与文献中心(WORDOC)如何在2018年至2019年的年度WORDOC女孩峰会上为10至18岁的女孩提供自己动手(DIY)的策略。我们探索了一个版本的非洲少女时代,旨在展示制度的影响,为尼日利亚女孩的自我赋权和女孩代理提供平台。
