The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Global Gender Gap Report 2022 shows that women account for 31% in leadership positions.
Different partners in the areas of women empowerment continue to expend much effort to bridge the gender gap, which in turn has a negative impact to the economy and wellbeing.
In light of celebration of this year’s International Women’s Day, different institutions have organized an event dubbed ‘Mentoring Walk & Environment’ which will bring together women and girls.
Participants will come from public institutions, private sector, non-governmental organizations and youth representatives among others.
