Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>International Women\u2019s Day (IWD) and Month of Youth Against AIDS (MYAA) will, this year, be commemorated in Bobirwa Sub-district beginning of March.<\/b><\/p>\n

The two national events to be staged under the auspices of Ministry of Youth, Gender, Sport and Culture will be commemorated in Mathathane and Bobonong.<\/p>\n

The IWD is scheduled for Mathathane on March 1 while Bobonong will host MYAA the following day.<\/p>\n

Speaking during a Bobirwa Sub-district Council meeting this week, chairperson, Mr Kgomotso Mmereki said the sub-district was pleased to host the two national activities.<\/p>\n

At Blue Birds ground, Mathathane, IWD will celebrate \u2018achievement of all women in diversity\u2019 while also calling for gender parity within technological space.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt gives a moment to reflect on women\u2019s contribution to the social, economic, cultural and political spheres of our society,\u201d Mr Mmereki said.<\/p>\n

He added, \u2018the day honours all women throughout the world who inspired others to do better, make a difference and effect change.\u2019<\/p>\n

During the commemoration, women will be encouraged to participate and involve themselves in all spheres of life.<\/p>\n

The day is expected to be graced by Minister of Youth, Gender, Sport and Culture, Mr Tumiso Rakgare.<\/p>\n

Preparations are also underway in Bobonong to host MYAA under the theme: Equlise Adopted from World AIDS Day 2022.<\/p>\n

Equlaise calls for action to address inequalities and help end AIDS.<\/p>\n

Selection of Bobonong as an apt host of MYAA was motivated by the fact that Bobirwa Sub-district is at 30.5 per cent HIV prevalence rate, making it the third of the 10 sub-districts as per BAIS V, Mr Mmereki has said.<\/p>\n

MYAA is a national strategy formulated to upscale HIV\/AIDS interventions and also raise awareness on sexual health and HIV prevention among young people.<\/p>\n

The event will be held behind Southern Fried Chicken grounds where Assistant Minister of Youth, Gender, Sport and Culture, Mr Buti Billy will officiate.<\/p>\n
