Transcending Boundaries Podcast With Guest Ann Cotton

In this inspiring episode of Transcending Boundaries, Reeta Roy is joined by Ann Cotton, a pioneering advocate for girls' education and the founder of the Campaign for Female Education (CAMFED). Ann’s work has impacted millions of young girls across Sub-Saharan Africa, empowering them to access education and break the cycle of poverty. From her early experiences teaching in London to her transformative research in Zimbabwe, Ann shares how she uncovered the real barriers to girls' education—poverty, not cultural norms—and how CAMFED’s innovative model continues to drive sustainable change. Join us as Ann reflects on her journey, the powerful community of women she has helped build, and the legacy she continues to create in the fight for education equality.
