Celebrating women of Uganda in a Covid-19 environment
Sunday March 07 2021
In the Church calendar, today is the 3rd Sunday in Lent, while in the secular calendar tomorrow, March 8, is International Women’s Day, observed as a public holiday in Uganda and many countries in the world. The theme for this year’s Women’s Day is, “Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a Covid-19 world” which is pertinent and timely for the times.
This theme is aligned with the priority theme of the 65th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, “Women’s full and effective participation and decision-making in public life, as well as the elimination of violence, for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.”
