Showcasing social enterprise’s new resources in the mobile era, Anne Shongwe—a 25-year South African development veteran—has partnered with UNWomen, Nokia, and other institutions to combat gender-based violence in Africa through an awareness-spreading mobile app.
Shongwe had the idea for the app, called Moraba, when she and her team approached UNWomen in connection with the organization’s Africa UNiTE Campaign to End Violence against Women and Girls.
