The Neghesti Sumari Foundation hosted a panel discussion on
progress towards parity on March 7th. This was done in honor of the
International Women’s Day.
The congress took place in the Buni hub which is based at Costech
Building in Dar es Salaam. The panel consisted of Dr.Ester Mwaikambo,
Monica Joseph, Dorice Mollel, Anna Mghwira.
The main topic was about Women equality in todays’ society. I agree
with this especially when it comes to the choices of subjects,career and
how to live life.
Yes,little girls may have dreams but when they are women they have
visions. And this visions can only be made if one focuses on them and
shut down the odds.
It is an ambition for every woman to shine in life but most of the
time it is a challenge.Is it because of the male gender or fear to be
perceived differently in terms of culture. It was a discussion that
motivated women to be free to do something new and they also came with
various ways to grow and develop in the society.
I admired how a lady from MEWATA commented that women already have
their rights so it is up to them to act upon them. We need to empower
ourselves before we are so by other.This also links in by the adage that
says ‘how you package yourself determines how you will be received’.
Having our rights and being treated equally is not only thing we need
but proving that we can contribute majorly then that is a great step.
It does not matter how people come into our lives and try to put us down
but as long as you know that it will benefit the country then it is up
to us.
As women we are entitled to be self driven and hardworking.It is also
about time we quit shading each other but compete healthy, everything
that we do counts.Therefore, in order for us to achieve our visions in
life we must first strive to be women of substance and integrity because
through that our character which is build by how we portray ourselves
will sustain us. Happy Women’s Day
