Ms. Elizabeth Yenemi, UN Women Association, Delivered a Speech at the International Women's Day Celebration 2012
| dc.description | The celebration of International Women's Day 2012 was held at the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa Addis Ababa. The theme for International Women's Day 2012 was Empower Rural Women: End Hunger and Poverty. Rural women are active agents of economic and social change and environmental protection who are, in many ways and to various degrees, constrained in their roles as farmers, producers, investors, caregivers, and consumers. They play crucial roles in ensuring food and nutrition security, eradicating rural poverty, and improving the well-being of their families yet continue to face serious challenges as a result of gender-based stereotypes and discrimination that deny them equitable access to opportunities, resources, assets, and services. International Women's Day is a reminder that universal human rights cannot be achieved without equal participation and opportunities for the development of women around the world. In this video, Elizabeth Yenemi on behalf of UN Women Association Members indicated that the Women's Association's objective has been since 1962 to promote good well, provide opportunities for members to share a common interest, and engage in welfare projects, which could privilege less benefited in Ethiopia. Mena Haile Michael, Solar technician at Solar Energy Foundation, presented about the role of women empowering project to enable them to get electric light to the rural community which has affected the children in their life how So solar light gives them light and healthy life and easy to women to do day to day activities. | en |
