2023 Women’s Day Commemorations
Murewa - March 23, 2023
The 8th of March each year is International Women’s Day (IWD). The UN theme for 2023 was “DigitALL: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality”. The CFHD supported Murewa Rural District Council to conduct the commemorations on Thursday, March 23rd under the theme “Embrace innovation and digitalization for gender equality in sustainable human development”. The CFHD used the opportunity to reflect and celebrate women and girls who are championing the advancement of transformative technology and digital education. The event was also an opportunity to reflect on key project milestones from women-led Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) and testimonials from gender champions and Socio-Economic Groups (SEGs) in the district and to ascertain digital gender gaps on women-led organizations that were profiled under the Social Accountability Project. Sensitization on the importance of protecting the rights of women and girls in digital spaces was also done to promote and protect women and girls’ rights. The commemorations were also strategic in strengthening the learning hubs and promoting digital innovation technologies at community level.
The event was well attended by the Team Europe Initiative delegation, EU Ambassador and his team, Government ministries, Murewa RDC, community leaders, women and girls from all walks of life. Ambassador Jobst von Kirchmann in his speech explained that Team Europe’s focus was on identifying critical priorities that constrain development. However, on this IWD commemoration, it was fascinating to see that women in Murewa were actively taking part in development processes by utilizing the resources readily available to them. He also applauded the women for their unity of purpose in the fight for gender equality and equal representation.
