International experts
The production of the texts available on this platform has involved several international experts. Each e-module was scientifically validated by a historian, external to the project, specialized in the history of the corresponding woman figure and the historical context.
Some of the experts are members of either the International Scientific Committee of the UNESCO General History of Africa Project or the UNESCO Slave Route Project. For other figures, when additional expertise was needed, the project team commissioned other renowned historians. After each module’s scientific validation, the entire platform was validated by the Scientific Committee of the UNESCO General History of Africa.
