Embrace equity

Lady Dadae shared to the women that the issue of gender equity, between men and women, has been drawing immense attention and worldwide publicity.

She added that Government organizations as well as NGO’s are taking stock of and prioritizing gender equity as the way forward towards realizing development goals and positive outcomes for communities and our nation.

The IWD 2023 #EmbraceEquity campaign theme seeks to get the world talking about why “equal opportunities are no longer enough” – and can in fact be exclusionary, rather than inclusive.

For Business Coalition for Women executive director, Evonne Kennedy, International Women’s Day is an important date set aside to recongnise the important roles women play in society, and the potential they have.

“There are women in leadership roles but there could be more,” she said.
