The Day, adopted by the AU in 1962, celebrates African women’s accomplishments at all levels of development.
It also serves as a reminder of the structures of inequality that African women continue to face daily.

Today is African Women's Day. I believe it is a day for us to reflect on the many successes and achievements of the African Woman. It gives me much pleasure to know that our achievements are immeasurable.
Through all spheres of life we are contributing our quota and not relegating ourselves to the background.
We are assuming leadership roles and making a lot of impact wherever we find ourselves.
On this day, I encourage you to keep up the good work where ever you may be. You might be unnoticed for now but your effort long term will not be discounted.
Keep raising the bar higher, keep learning, growing and do give back when you can.
