A local non-governmental organization, Sprodeta, has emphasized the crucial role of women in the country’s development.

Speaking on Tuesday during the International Women’s Day (IWD) commemoration at Chisenga Primary School Ground in Chitipa, Sprodeta Executive Director Allen Kumwenda highlighted the significance of the event in providing women with a platform to interact and discuss issues affecting them.

He also added that the day offers a platform for people in all sectors of society to appreciate the role women play in accelerating development at various levels.

Kumwenda: NGOs should be transparent

“Today, we have brought female role models from the Malawi Police Service, health, and education sectors to inspire young girls still in school. Our aim is to encourage them to excel in education and grow into future drivers of the country’s development,” Kumwenda said.

Kumwenda then urged other NGOs to be transparent and accountable in all their activities, ensuring that such initiatives make a meaningful impact and improve people’s well-being.

District Commissioner for Chitipa, MacMillan Magomero, commended Sprodeta for being a true partner in development in the district.

Magomero said Sprodeta plays a pivotal role in promoting women’s rights amongst other interventions.

“Let me urge women to be in the forefront in promoting and protecting each other. In doing so, we will empower and love one another,” Magomero said.

One of the members of Women Action Group, Getrude Ng’ambi observed that child neglect is a major challenge in Chisenga area adding that her grouping has managed to bring to book men who refrain from caring for their children.

The IWD is celebrated on March 8 annually commemorating women’s fight for equality and liberation along with the women’s rights movements.

The day was commemorated under the theme: ‘Accelerate Action: For All Women and Girls: Rights, Equality and Empowerment.’
