International Women's Day 2024
The celebration of International Women’s Day by Indigenous women in 2024 was a vibrant tapestry of cultural pride, resilience, and activism. Across Indigenous communities of West Pokot,Narok, Samburu, Marsabit ,Niger and Mali;women organized diverse events and activities that honored their unique heritage and addressed pressing issues facing their communities. From traditional ceremonies and skill-sharing workshops to community dialogues and advocacy campaigns, Indigenous women demonstrated their leadership, creativity, and determination to effect positive change. Through art, storytelling, and collective action, they celebrated their achievements, asserted their rights, and amplified their voices within their communities and the broader society. These celebrations not only showcased the strength and diversity of Indigenous cultures but also fostered solidarity and collaboration among Indigenous women, paving the way for greater recognition, representation, and empowerment. As we reflect on the significance of these celebrations, it is essential to continue supporting and uplifting Indigenous women’s voices and initiatives, advancing towards a more inclusive and equitable future for all.
