Egerton University will be marking its 20th Gender Awareness Day on Monday, 18th October, 2021 at Egerton University Main Campus Graduation Square from 9.00 a.m.
The Institute of Women, Gender and Development Studies (IWGDS) held the 20th annual Gender Awareness Day at Main Campus in Njoro on 18 October 2021. The day's theme was "Women in Leadership: Achieving an Equal Future in a COVID 19 World", and the Chief Guest, Dr Joyce Mutinda, Chairperson of National Gender Equality Commission, graced the occasion.
Not even her "Wear Pink Ribbon" campaign T-shirt she is donning triggers anything in the minds of students she is engaging.
International Women's Day (IWD) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. It is a time to reflect on progress made and to call for change. The day marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity through empowering women with a space to share their thoughts and ideas for a better world and to be part of global conversations and actions seeking to champion gender equality.
