African trade unionists celebrate the continents women's day with call for investment in education
AFRICAN trade unionists celebrated the continent’s women’s day today by calling for investment in education to build climate change resilience.
The International Trade Union Confederation-Africa (ITUC-A) celebrated African Women’s Day by recognising the ongoing struggle for gender equality and women’s rights.
African Women’s Day was first declared at the historic congress of the Pan-African Women’s Organisation in Dakar, Senegal, on July 31 1974, and has since become a significant moment for reflection, mobilisation and action.
