On 8th March,Uganda joined the rest of the world to celebrate the international WomenS day under the theme “Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world”.
The celebrations were presided over by the President of Uganda calling for equality between men and women.
“Women emancipation should focus on social economic transformation. You can talk legalities for centuries but if you don’t talk about society changing, nothing will move”. His Excellency the President of Republic of Uganda.
It’s up to all of us to #choose to challenge, a call to challenge the status quo by creating awareness about Gender equality and acknowledging women’s achievements amid the pandemic.
At Joy for Children, we carried out community visits in the slums that we operate to capture the different views of Women, Men and Girls about what they perceive of women’s day.
"When i hear about Womens day,i think it is a day when women come together to celebrate their achivements and acknowledege their roles as mothers"Jessica one of the beneficiries of our Girl Empower club.
Advancing Gender equality should be inclusive for all key stakeholders for instance men especially at Household level.
