Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 27761, member: 2262"] Widows across Migori County celebrated International Women's Day with fresh chances to improve their lives. Thanks to a program started by Interior PS Raymond Omollo and Victor Ayugi, they learned new skills. The Widows Empowerment Programme gave these women from West Sakwa Ward in Awendo Constituency tools to build better futures for themselves. They attended training about money management and strengthening their communities. The program visited several groups, including Godjope Widows, Vumilia Widows, and Talented Widows from different areas. This effort happened right as people worldwide marked International Women's Day 2025. Their theme focused on "Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress," which shows how backing women creates positive change everywhere. The program offers resources that help transform these widows' daily struggles into success stories. Many Kenyans joined global celebrations for International Women's Day last Saturday. This yearly holiday, which occurs every March 8, focuses on fighting for women's rights. People discuss important issues like gender fairness, reproductive freedom, and stopping violence against women. The day honors female achievements across all backgrounds regardless of nationality, ethnicity, language, culture, money, or politics. The first International Women's Day took place on March 19, 1911, when more than a million people participated across Austria, Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. The United Nations started officially recognizing the event much later, in 1975. Since then, the UN has sponsored yearly celebrations encouraging countries to honor brave regular women who made amazing contributions to their nations and neighborhoods. People recognize International Women's Day by its female gender symbol, which is purple, green, and white. [/QUOTE]
