International Women's Day: Celebrating region's bold achievers
East Africa’s bold achievers. ILLUSTRATION|JOE NGARI.
The United Nations’ International Women’s Day celebrated on March 8 has over the years evolved into the Women’s History Month, and used to highlight the contributions of women to society. Under this year’s theme of #BeBoldForChange, we bring you profiles of women in East Africa whose initiatives and creations have changed their communities.
#BeBoldForChange is more than just a slogan for this year’s Women’s International Day. Most women in East Africa have lived this slogan all their lives, their ages and chosen life paths notwithstanding. Their profiles tell it all.
