Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>President Lazarus Chakwera says his administration will continue making women an integral part of the national development agenda through appointments in key leadership positions.<\/p>\n

In his statement on International Women\u2019s Day, the president has also promised more investment in women\u2019s wellbeing. \u201cToday, being International Women\u2019s Day, let me openly celebrate all the accomplishments and sacrifices our women and girls are making to transform Malawi.<\/p>\n

\u201cWomen form a very key constituency of our daily livelihoods and their immense contribution to this country\u2019s development agenda remains inestimable.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s theme, #BreakTheBias, challenges us to give women and girls equal opportunity in all spheres of human advancement for them to fully exploit their capabilities,\u201d said Chakwera. He then reminded people in the country that attainment of gender equality is everyone\u2019s responsibility.<\/p>\n

International Women\u2019s Day (March 8) is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. The International Women\u2019s Day website says the day also marks a call to action for accelerating women\u2019s equality.<\/p>\n

IWD has occurred for well over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people. In Malawi, International Women\u2019s day commemoration event will take place at Bingu International Conference Centre in Lilongwe today. Minister of Gender Patricia Kaliati will preside over the national event.<\/p>\n
