–
Why should we join the rest of the world in celebrating ‘International women’s day’?
–
We live in a country where the fundamental rights of women are nonexistent.
–
Today is a day, were women all over the world, come together to celebrate the social, economic,cultural and political achievements of women.
We should be observing a moment of silence for the fearless women, who fought to the death for the rights of women and children and raising our glasses to a toast,to all the
strong women that have fought and continue to fight for the abolishment of archaic practices and the reformation of laws that have enslaved women for decades in unison.
–
But no, as women, living in this part of the world, it will be hypocritical for us to to partake in this celebration.
–
This day should mark a call to action for accelerating gender parity, gender equality and reforms that will protect our fundamental rights as women.
–
We owe it to the girl child.
–
Benedicta Elechi.”
