The conference “On the human rights of women” is scheduled to be held on the 18th in the city of Praia.
The highlight of the celebrations takes place on March 27th, Cape Verdean Women’s Day and the anniversary of the OMCV, in a central event that will feature the partnership of the Amílcar Cabral Foundation, as part of the celebrations of the centenary of Amílcar Cabral’s birth.
“The idea is to have testimonies from people who lived with Amílcar Cabral, who can talk a little about him as a person who fought for gender equality, who fought for women’s empowerment and wanted to see women alongside men”, he highlighted.
The organization also intends to have testimonies about Cabral’s writings, as the founder of the Guinean and Cape Verdean nationalities has many writings linked to women and which spoke about women and their role.
In addition, other actions will take place, such as a tribute to partners and members, a gastronomic fair, a health fair, the delivery of kits for developing income-generating activities and visits to regional chains.
