Great privilege speaking at an International Women’s Day Dialogue hosted by @FESRwanda and bringing together Trade Unions and Feminists in Rwanda like to deliberate on workplace GBV, Sexual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment as well as strategising on implementation of ILO Convention No. 190 and Resolution 206.
I had the opportunity to speak about the feminist analysis of gendered power relations, GBV and PSEAH; The effects of violence and harassment; Strategies for prevention, intervention and redress; and also how feminists and trade unions can synergise to ensure a safe working violent for women and girls. I also shared learnings from other countries like South Africa 🇿🇦 , Kenya 🇰🇪 , Tanzania 🇹🇿 , USA 🇺🇸 , Argentina 🇦🇷 , New Zealand 🇳🇿 and Canada 🇨🇦 where there has been successes of partnerships between the feminist movements and trade unions that have yielded fruit and ensured safe working environments, protecting women workers, addressing sexual harassment and promoting gender equality in the world of work.
I hereby wish all Women of the World a Happy International Women’s Day 2025.

@elonmusk Decent work and social protection are the greatest values in the world. Food security and climate change issues are affecting everyone, may be it’s the greatest time to hear the voice of workers and support them
What does it mean a just transition for COP27? How trade unions can play their roles in loss and damages? Is decent work possible with climate change crises? ITUC Africa has recommendations.

Hon. Rhie visited two project interventions namely radical terraces & underground rainwater harvesting tanks constructed for controlling erosion.
She appreciated the work being done by #GreenGicumbi to support vulnerable communities to cope with the effects of climate change.
Honorable Ye-One Rhie, a member of Parliament
in Germany today visited the #GreenGicumbi project.
The member of Parliament saw firsthand how the project is strengthening the climate resilience of rural communities in @GicumbiDistrict through a range of interventions.
Had a wonderful time with the #Youth under @FESRwanda Youth Citizen Training Program
Discussing around #climatechange and global trends! Amazed by their questions, eager to understand and ready to be part of the solution to the #climatecrisis & #biodiversity loss
The Prince and The Duchess will arrive in Kigali today for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting. 🇷🇼
#CHOGM2022 convenes leaders from the 54 Commonwealth countries to reaffirm common values and agree on policies to improve the lives of its 2.5 billion citizens.
On the sidelines of #CHOGM2022, President Kagame and First Lady Jeannette Kagame received Their Royal Highnesses, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall @ClarenceHouse at Urugwiro Village where they discussed existing partnerships and areas of mutual interest.
President Kagame yesterday met with Rt Hon Patricia Scotland @PScotlandCSG, Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, for discussions on the progress of the ongoing #CHOGM2022.
In #CWF2022, discussions are made through a mix of plenary and parallel sessions. The 1st panel discusses “Women in Leadership: Beyond Numbers”. Panelists exchange on how women’s representation in decision-making could make real and lasting change for the betterment of society.
The #CWF2022 does not just occur, in a country that consistently pushes for the emergence and recognition of women in leadership.
It occurs in a country, where rape was used, barely 3 decades ago, as a weapon of war.
