Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls. #GiveToGain
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
International Women\u2019s Day is celebrated globally on 8th<\/sup>\u00a0March & entire month of March. The IWD is one of the world\u2019s most powerful advocacy moments for recognizing & amplying women contribution and call to action to actors in all sectors. In 2026, two interlocking themes define the day: the United Nations official theme Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls \u2013 and the global IWD campaign theme Give To Gain (#GiveToGain). Together, they make a single, urgent argument: progress toward gender equality is not an act of charity; it is intentional investment. When we give mentorship, knowledge, land, resources, visibility, and justice to women, everyone families, communities, food systems, and economies gains in return. ADS Western in partnership with PELUM Kenya & her partners implement the Africa Women Leaders in Agroecology (AWOLA) Program, and the Knowledge Hub for Organic Agriculture, will commemorate International Women\u2019s Day 2026 through a high-level virtual webinar focused on advancing women\u2019s leadership in agri-food systems, land justice, and amplifying women\u2019s voices. Strengthening their leadership in agri-foods systems is essential for achieving equitable, resilient, and sustainable food systems transformation in spirit with the UN Theme & IWD theme Give To Gain for AWOLA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Giving is not a subtraction – it is intentional multiplication. The theme suggests that progress requires contribution<\/strong>. Gains in equality, justice, and food systems transformation only happen when institutions, communities, and individuals are willing to give power, space, recognition, resources, and solidarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For women in agri-foods systems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This creates a strong moral and systems-based narrative that aligns perfectly with ADS Western\u2019s, AWOLA, KCOA & PELUM Network gender justice positioning. Through this International Women\u2019s Day webinar, AWOLA and partners seek to create a platform that elevates women leaders, addresses land-related injustices, and fosters cross-sector dialogue on advancing gender-responsive agri-food systems through agroecology & organic agriculture<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":776,"featured_media":20740,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"tags":[720,716,331,725,719,356,155],"event_type":[],"event_type_2":[],"event_type_3":[],"event_type_4":[],"class_list":["post-20739","ajde_events","type-ajde_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-awola","tag-communities","tag-food-security","tag-give-ti-gain","tag-justice","tag-leadership","tag-women-empowerment"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kcoa-africa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events\/20739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kcoa-africa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kcoa-africa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ajde_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kcoa-africa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/776"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kcoa-africa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20739"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kcoa-africa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kcoa-africa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kcoa-africa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20739"},{"taxonomy":"event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kcoa-africa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type?post=20739"},{"taxonomy":"event_type_2","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kcoa-africa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type_2?post=20739"},{"taxonomy":"event_type_3","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kcoa-africa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type_3?post=20739"},{"taxonomy":"event_type_4","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kcoa-africa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type_4?post=20739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
