This year’s International Women’s Day, WADR partners with TOSTAN in a special webinar to highlight the significance of the day.

International Women’s Day serves as a reminder to recognize and cherish women’s agency and autonomy, to make society safer, and to eradicate prejudice and discrimination, particularly against women. People are busy getting ready for the celebration, but most are unaware of the significance of March 8th as International Women’s Day.

This year’s theme calls for action that can unlock equal rights, power and opportunities for all and a feminist future where no one is left behind.

Central to this vision is empowering the next generation—youth, particularly young women and adolescent girls—as catalysts for lasting change.

Our guests are: Angela Muruli – Regional Programme Coordinator for Ending Violence Against Women – UN Women West and Central Africa office, and Carina Ndaye, the Chief Partnership Officer TOSTAN.
