70,000 Women
March for Peace, Unity in Yde
The First
Lady of Cameroon, Mrs. Chantal BIYA has presided over a lively march-past to
commemorate the 33rd edition of the International Women’s Day in Yaounde.
Over 70,000 elegant women from all
walks of life rallied at the 20th May Boulevard on 8 March 2018 to celebrate
women’s day under the theme: “Intensify the fight against discrimination on
women, strengthen partnership to speed up sustainable development”. They made
an earnest request – under the auspices of the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment
and the Family – for the promotion of peace, unity, patriotism, and social
inclusion.
The highlight of the parade was the
passage of two special groups of 4,000 women from the North West and South West
regions, who marched to demonstrate their endorsement for the preservation of
the country’s territorial integrity.
It was also
an opportunity for the women to express their gratitude to President Paul BIYA
for his unbroken support towards women empowerment in Cameroon.
Mrs. Chantal BIYA offered a luncheon
at the Yaounde Hilton Hotel to close the festivities.
