Speaking on the aviation industry, Madame Mbumba highlighted its shift from being male-dominated to an increasingly popular path for women. She applauded all women pilots including her daughter, for their contributions. #InternationalWomensDay

The First Lady added, “Equality can only be achieved when the diversity, differences, and qualities of women are truly valued and celebrated.” To conclude, Madame Mbumba urged women to live authentically and not conform to others’ idea of what womanhood is. #WomensDay2025

Replying to @UNAIDS
@unaids is a proud founding partner of @OAFLAD and I was delighted to join their 29th General Assembly in Addis - an important moment to commemorate and build on the legacy of leadership & rights secured at the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, 30 yrs ago. I was fortunate to be there and amongst the women who called on governments to entrench gender equality in law and in practice. The African Women's Caucus championed the critical area of the rights of the girl child in the Beijing Platform for Action. #Beijing30 #AUSummit
