The 8th of March 2024 marked the annual International Women’s Day, a globally recognized occasion to celebrate the achievements and contributions of women worldwide. The United Nations (UN) announced the theme for this year to be “Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress.” Embracing the spirit of this theme, the mmoho Campaign, a sexual and reproductive health advocacy campaign founded by Ibis Reproductive Health’s Africa Region office and its partners, and AMAZE Africa collaborated to host a webinar aligned to the UN global theme.
The webinar fostered dialogue and insights on the need to invest in women’s sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Speakers delved into conversations to raise awareness about the importance of empowering women and highlighted how investing in women’s SRH contributes to overall community wellbeing and development.
