Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>IN celebration of the mothers of the Namibian nation, President Hage Geingob on Mother\u2019s Day paid tribute to the women who despite difficult circumstances continue working hard for the betterment of their families and the country with compassion, care and love.<\/p>\n

The President\u2019s message in full: \u201cToday, on Mother\u2019s Day, celebrated under the theme \u2018Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow,\u2019 we are provided with a moment to pause and to reflect about the role mothers play in nurturing a caring society.<\/p>\n

Despite difficult circumstances, mothers continue to shower the world with care, love, compassion and extend a helping hand to those in need. On Mother\u2019s Day, we should recognize and honor our mothers for the sacrifices they make to build families, homes and a better Namibia.<\/p>\n

As a nation, we recognize and celebrate Namibian mothers and continue to promote gender equality through the advancement of women in leadership roles at different levels of Government. We owe mothers a debt of gratitude for who they are and continue to be in our lives.<\/p>\n

As we share in the love that mothers continue to demonstrate, I appeal to men to honour and protect our mothers by accelerating our fight against Gender-Based Violence, including ending the rape of innocent women and children.<\/p>\n

I appeal to law enforcement agencies to do their work by protecting our mothers. Our progress in gender equality should not be derailed by cowardly acts of violence against women.<\/p>\n

Let us shower our mothers with gestures that are befitting of the sacrifices they endure in raising and nurturing us. Let us return the love and compassion from our mothers by investing in a safer and sustainable Namibian House.<\/p>\n

On this special day for our mothers, I extend heartfelt warm wishes to all the mothers of our nation who continue to solidify the foundations of the Namibian House by working hard for the benefit of our country. Happy Mother\u2019s Day!\u201d<\/p>\n
