We have to move on from equal opportunities because they\u2019re no longer enough.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all have a role to help level the playing field to accelerate gender equity and equality. Our former president Dr. Joyce Banda is a dedicated gender equality activist, it\u2019s only right to engage her excellency leading to International Women\u2019s Day 2023,\u201d said Shaba.<\/p>\n<p>In the audiovisual, Shaba narrates the poem while the former Malawi leader narrates a speech where she is heard amplifying the need for concerted efforts amongst Malawians towards addressing gender gaps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpecial efforts are still required for us to see meaningful change. There are still critical gaps in equality that have left millions of women and girls behind,\u201d said Banda.<\/p>\n<p>International Women\u2019s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women and it also brings attention to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, violence and abuse against women.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
