Association for Women Empowerment Cameroon (AWEC) recently participated in an impactful empowerment program hosted by the Hadassah Foundation at the Limbe Two Council Hall, in preparation for the 41st International Women’s Day. Women from the local community came together to learn about their rights, mental health, and the importance of supporting one another. Engaging talks, interactive games, and heartfelt sharing highlighted the event’s success, fostering connections and unity among participants. As a gesture of appreciation, bags and small gifts were distributed, symbolizing hope and empowerment. Together, we’re building a stronger, more supportive community for women!

International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2025 theme is: ” Unpacking STEM: Her Voice in Science “.

This day is intended to recognise the significant achievements and contributions of women and girls in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

The commemoration also marks the importance of gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls across the world, celebrating their successful leadership in the world of science and technology.

Despite various efforts, there is still a considerable gender imbalance in the field of science and technology on a global scale.

Although many initiatives have been established to engage women and girls in scientific fields, a significant gap in their participation continues to exist.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030 also highlight gender equality in science as an essential component of its agenda.

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2025.
