Today Women and Youth for Sustainable Empowerment- WAYSE celebrated the International Day of the Girl Child with 3 schools precisely the Zapai Public School, KORTO V. P. Vogar school and the McDaniel Academy School. The theme for this year commencement was clear: “Girls, vision for the future”. On this International Day of the Girl Child, we celebrate strength, resilience, and potential of girls around the world as well Liberia 🇱🇷 . This day serves as a reminder that when girls are empowered and have visions, they become leaders, innovators, and change-makers in their communities, schools and society. Together we can create a world where girls have visions and aspirations to lead towards a bright future. Happy International Day of the Girl Child. #embassyofswedish #Internationdayofgirlchild #UNDP #WomenLeads

This year our focus is fixed on creating a clear picture and mindset for girls to have vision for the future. If girls have vision for the future, they will have clear direction and a glimpse over their lives to make their goals and purpose become a reality.

Today on International Day of Peace, we come together as a community, nation and society, united by the desire for a world where compassion, understanding and unity prevail. This year’s theme, “Actions for Peace “: Our Ambition for #GlobalGoals”,reminds us that peace is not just the absence of conflict but the presence of justice,equality and opportunity for all. As we reflect on the challenges our world faces- whether environmental, social,or economic let us commit to taking meaningful steps toward peace in our daily lives. Small acts of kindness, open dialogue, and respect for one another are the seeds from which lasting peace grows. May today inspire us to work towards a future where every person, no matter their background can live in harmony, dignity, and hope. Together we can build a better tomorrow,starting with peace in our hearts and actions. Happy International Peace Day #PeaceFirst #peaceforever #internationalpeaceday2024 @followers

Nyaniyon is changing the experiences of women in Gbarpolu County of Liberia, who have been traditionally excluded from land inheritance and ownership. Barriers to women’s land rights, rooted in age-long cultural norms and structural inequality, had led to women being economically deprived and dependent. Many civil society organizations in Liberia have raised awareness on women’s land rights with limited outcome, but Nyaniyon employed a whole community mobilization approach – engaging directly with men and boys, and particularly the influential community elders who are the custodians of the local cultures. By employing a whole community mobilization approach, Nyaniyon s advocacy efforts reached a critical mass of diverse audience, inspired reflections on everyday benefits of change and led to significant shifts in attitudes regarding women’s land rights. Thanks to Nyaniyon and her organization, women in Gbarpolu county can now acquire land from their fathers, and widows can also inherit their deceased husbands’ properties without interference. There are hundreds of feminist innovators like Nyaninyon who have continued to play essential roles as direct service providers addressing the peculiar needs of women and girls being victimized by societal structures that are expected to protect them. In the spirit of the World Humanitarian Day, we join our voices to the #BerlinDeclaration2003 and call on world leaders to #ActForHumanity and “… take a firm, decisive and uncompromising stance against attacks on women’s safety, wellbeing, lives and work and against the patriarchal norms that lead to the normalization of violence, gender apartheid and gender persecution.” To #ActForWomanity, international organizations and humanitarian donors should “ensure that local women can participate in and use their experiences and expertise to influence … political decision-making and peace processes”.

On August 20,204 we participated in a collaborative reflective engagement meeting with women Leaders and partners with the Ministry of Gender, children and social protection. Key on the agenda a panel discussion on CSO roles in the National Development Plan which led to a break up session with feedback from the women manifesto, feedback from the women call to action and feedback from other documents. The Liberian Women Manifesto ( Manifesto) as stated is a strategic planning and human resource development agenda. It provides basic change. We’re still channeling the agenda of women’s rights and equality in all sectors of society and we look forward to the government’s commitment to ensuring that women’s rights are protected. #UNWOMEN #Swedishembassy #Ministryofgenderchildrenandsocialprotection #UNDP #Planinternational
