@GimacYouth @mennamosbah_ A5: All Young Women need is opportunity, from national to continental and international levels. I remember saying to mama @phumzileunwomen that we have never had a generation so skilled, talented bold and ready to lead as young African women today! #YoungWomen4YPS

In response to the rise in VAWG and feminicide in Moz, the Roundtable on Gender‑Sensitive Investigation and Adjudication was held, bringing together justice actors, civil society, academia and partners to advance a more just, inclusive and survivor‑centred justice system.

🚨 For the first time, the COTE spoke to the nation. I was there — moderating.
In a room of powerful male voices, I led the conversation as a young woman leader.

💡 No sustainable peace without full participation of women & youth.

During the #Mozambique Gender Assessment Report launch, @withneysabino said we need to listen to women and girls when making decisions that affect them. I couldn't agree more. We know that when women and girls lead the development agenda, everyone wins. 📖https://t.co/SMhOJugIUJ

Reflective & Inspiring Moments

On March 20, I had the privilege to be at the Voice of America studios in Washington DC for an enlightening interview with Amâncio Miguel. We discussed my experience at the CSW68 and its transformative impact on our Manas initiative in Mozambique.

#MêsdaMulher 2024: a @FranceMaputo e a @ECA_UEM_Oficial convidam-lhe ao debate com a socióloga e activista Isabel Casimiro e as jovens influentes e empenhadas @imapisse, Marlena Chambule e @withneysabino, moderado por @EvaTrindade6. Evento gratuito no 4 de Abril ás 14h30 na ECA

[Withney Osvalda @withneysabino]

I participated in the UN's CSW68 in New York, discussing gender equality and women's empowerment. Inspired, I'll apply the insights in Mozambique, strengthening the Manas initiative, especially in Cabo Delgado where women and girls face severe challenges. #CSW68

[Dércio Tsandzana, PhD @derciotsandzana]

Quando os órgãos eleitorais fazem uma conferência de imprensa onde não abrem espaço para questionamento da imprensa, é revelador de insegurança do que eles próprios estão a divulgar. Em democracias normais, quem organiza eleições deve ter nos media um aliado, não opositor.

Precisamos trazer o país de volta!

[Ricardo Dias 🇲🇿 @Rdiasmz]

Não está fácil. Não basta ser professor para sustentar a família. Por vezes tem que abandonar a actividade lectiva e ser mototaxista para amealhar mais dinheiro. A educação fica comprometida nesse processo. O país só perde. É terrível.
