"Empowering Women for Peace: Celebrating International Women’s Day 2025"
As we celebrate International Women’s Day under the theme “For all women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment” we must acknowledge the vital role women play, particularly in times of conflict. While many are at war, women often become the backbone of their families and communities, shouldering economic and social responsibilities, ensuring stability, and protecting their loved ones during displacement.
Women Educating and Inspiring Generations
Women have always played a pivotal role in shaping the future of our society. Through their wisdom, resilience, and dedication, they educate not only the minds of their children but also inspire entire generations to dream bigger and reach higher.
The old adage goes…. “educate a woman and you educate a whole village”, and from this we know that any knowledge imparted on a woman does not only empower her but also uplifts her community, thus creating a ripple effect of positive change.
