The Power and Resilience of African Women… Theme: Accelerating Action
On this International Women’s Day, I am honored to stand with all women as the Center for Innovative Community Advocacy and Development (CICAD- Kenya , a transformative platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of vulnerable groups, Children, women and persons with disability.
0n the 08th of March 2025, Today, we celebrate the incredible achievements, resilience, and leadership of women across, in Kibera, Kenya, our continent and beyond.
Women have always been the backbone of our communities, driving change, innovation, and progress in every sphere of life. From climate action to technology, from politics to education, African women are not just participants—they are leaders, visionaries, and changemakers. At CICAD-Kenya and Kibera Gender Advocacy Network, we are committed to ensuring that these voices are not only heard but also empowered to shape a more equitable, inclusive and sustainable future.
This year’s theme, “Accelerate Action,” resonates deeply with our mission. Accelerating Action is not just about opening doors; and enhancing social justice but it’s about creating spaces where every woman feels secure, valued, supported, and empowered to lead. It’s about breaking down barriers, challenging stereotypes, and building a world where women from vulnerable communities can thrive without limits.
As we celebrate this day, let us remember that the journey toward gender equality is far from over. We must continue to advocate for policies that uplift women, invest in education and opportunities for girls, and challenge the systemic inequalities that hold women back. Together, we can create a future where every Woman has the tools, platforms, and support to reach her full potential.
To the young women of Africa: your voices matter. Your dreams are valid. Your leadership is essential. At CICAD-Kenya , we are here to amplify your stories, celebrate your achievements, and stand with you as you break barriers and redefine what is imposible to possible.
Let us use this day to reflect, celebrate, and recommit ourselves to the work ahead. Together, we can build a world where every woman’s voice is heard, valued, and empowered.
Happy International Women’s Day! 🌍✨
