As the world prepares to celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8, whose theme is 'DigitALL: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality', it is an opportunity to reflect on Africa’s youth employment challenge, particularly its implications for women.
Since it is a day when thousands of women joined together and protested in New York City in 1908 for improved labour laws and the rights of women to vote, it also created a global platform for celebrating women's achievements, raising awareness about gender inequities, and increasing support for women worldwide.
