“In celebration of Women’s Day, we celebrate women and girls around the world, their achievements in fighting injustice and discrimination, women and girls have made a great gain in dismantling Gender stereotypes” Sarah Narrates.

She adds that Millions of Women and girls face injustice and inequality in society despite all the efforts made to advocate for women’s rights.
