"Sisterhood is important in our struggle, but generally it's always important to know you have people that you are in solidarity with." Dr @phumlambongcuka spoke about the importance of togetherness, solidarity & allyship in our struggle for gender equality during #IWD2025 event.
This #IWD2025, our message is clear:
We refuse to step back. This is the year we march forward for women's rights!
Today @unwomenSA, @NLinSouthAfrica & @IrlEmbPretoria reiterate their commitment to equality as they commemorate International Women's Day 2025 in PTA.
"We need urgent collective action!
✔Close the digital gap—tech must empower women.
✔End economic exclusion—invest in care & opportunities.
✔End GBV.
✔Ensure equal leadership—male allyship matters.
✔Include women in peace & climate action."
@nmuffuh, RC @UNinSouthAfrica
"While women and girls enjoy greater equality today than at any point in history, our progress remains slow, fragile, and uneven across the globe." Dr Hazel Gooding, @unwomenSA Deputy Representative. #IWD2025#ForAllWomenAndGirls
