The Light of optimism
In less then 2 years working in Addis Ababa, Dr. Elaine P. Rocha has heard terrible stories of women and children’s sufferings. Most of these stories came from her students. She works in a challenging field – gender studies in Ethiopia. But despite the gloomy figures and stories of gender-based violence, she is highly optimistic.
Dr. Elaine Rocha was born in Sao Paulo, one of the largest cities of the world. Her ancestors were slaves, like most Brazilians. Today, she works as an assistant professor, teaching a Masters course at the Institute of Gender Studies of Addis Ababa University. She arrived here in 2005, accompanying her diplomat husband. With a Phd. in Social History specialized in gender and race, her experience with feminism was pretty much intellectual and personal, until she moved to Addis Ababa, and started a new job at the Addis Ababa University.
