Thanks to the British High Commissioner family in Nairobi for hosting an inspiring International Women’s Day event at the Official Residence.

The speakers shared inspiring words that provide hope and direction in these times.
As a woman, be confident. Face the world. Bring your competencies. Learn from others.

Be collegial. Collaborate. Don’t be grumpy.

A strong woman looks at a challenge — and gives it a wink.

We unfortunately eat challenge for breakfast.

We have power and energy as women to move research to accelerate action for gender equality.

Let us not bang on the steering wheel but accelerate with confident power toward more equality, drawing on feminine energy in the journey of change.

Let us instill confidence in our girls, celebrate women in all our power, coach our boys into respectful, responsible and sensitive men, and Roar about the inequalities women still face.

On 8 March 2025, what will you reflect on and do to celebrate UN International Women’s Day under the theme, “For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment”?
