“Let us be a generation of women and men who drive our policies and actions towards the fulfilments of our right and work of life. let us be a generation of women and men actively participate in activities that drive these policies. Let us be a generation of parents, a father and mother who imparts to our young girls and boys the values of making things happen. Investing in our women and girls is indeed investing in our future.”
