Celebrating Africa Women’s Day: Empowering Women in the IGAD Region
As we commemorate Africa Women’s Day, IGAD proudly stands with the incredible women across our region, celebrating their achievements, resilience, and contributions to society. This day marks an important occasion to reflect on the vital roles women play in shaping the future of our communities, especially in the Horn of Africa.
Women have been the backbone of our societies, displaying strength, determination, and unwavering commitment to progress. From leading households to influencing public policy, their contributions are invaluable and deserving of recognition. As we honour the legacy of our foremothers, we also look towards a future where women continue to break barriers and reach new heights in every sphere of life.
Africa Women’s Day is not just a celebration but a call to action. It is a reminder of the power and potential of women to be leaders and change-makers. IGAD reaffirms its commitment to advancing women’s rights and creating opportunities for women to excel in all areas of life.
As we celebrate this day, we encourage everyone to recognise the invaluable contributions of women in the Horn of Africa and beyond. Let us continue to support and uplift one another, working towards a future where women are at the forefront of development and leadership.
Together, we can build a brighter, more equitable future for all.
