ActionAid Liberia in collaboration with partners and Youth network with funding from SIDA awarded 20 Women in various sectors for their Outstanding Contributions to society.
During their awarding ceremony held at the Corinal Hotel in Monrovia, they confirmed awarding the people with disabilities, Medical Practitioners, Civil rights advocates, private and public security Personalities, and Soccer players among others.
Accordingly, their focus is to equalize opportunities for equality and protect Women from Violence at their Workplaces.
They noted that they are not only considering March eight as Women International day but the entire month will be celebrated with different activities to showing case their power in what they are capable of doing.
The partners who continue to celebrate International Women’s day under the team, “Gender Equality today for a Sustainable Tomorrow” said, their campaign is focused on the support of Women’s participation, with equal opportunities at all sectors of the working environment.
“Without our voices on the table, no decision can be made”, the partners vowed along with their Women group.
Meanwhile, they have encouraged their counterparts to build up their skills and compete with their Men Counterparts and secure better employment in society.
“We are calling on all women to stand strong to fight against the Gender-Based Violence and report any form of violence against us at home and at the World of Workplaces”, the partners called on their Women Networks.
