UN Women Declares International Women's Day( IWD, 2021).

       International Women's Day is celebrated in many countries around the world. It is a day when women are recognized for their achievements without regard to divisions,either in terms of national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political differences, now globally, it is strengthened by four global United Nations Women conferences.
The Women’s Day is globally  celebrated on March 8th annually; this  is strongly linked to the women’s movements during the Russian Revolution in 1917 and has since moved from  groundbreaking resolutions to awe-inspiring speeches to activists inspiring change offline and online, this timeline marks  memorable moments for women's rights at the United Nations since its founding in 1945.
This year, UN Women has  announced the theme for International Women's Day, 8 March 2021 (IWD 2021) as, “Women in leadership: This theme aims to address  the persistent pre-existing social and systemic barriers to women’s participation and leadership, which has further been accelerated with the COVID-19 pandemic. It is also to address unacceptable issues faced by women across the world, such as increased domestic violence, unpaid care duties, unemployment and poverty,  there is also disproportionate and inadequate representation of women in national and global COVID-19 policy spaces.
This year theme is also to collaborate with the world's government,  to uphold women’s rights and fully leverage the potential of women’s leadership in pandemic preparedness and response,  moreso to  integrate women  in the formulation and implementation of policies and programmes in all spheres and at all stages of pandemic response and recovery.
This year's Women' s day is also to bring to spotlight how Women leaders and women’s organizations have demonstrated their skills, knowledge and networks to effectively lead. Although today there is increase acceptance that women bring different experiences, perspectives and skills to the table, and make irreplaceable contributions to decisions, it should get better for a brighter future. We sincerely hope that this year's conference in honor of women will be a timeline for better Women integration and participation in all spheres.
Other informations related to the proposed United Nations Conference  on International Women's Day 2021 will be made available on UN Women’s website closer to the date.

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

Tired of giving!

Oops!it's been rain rain rain in this part of my world for the past one week.At times it can be really annoying,especially when you have planned a fun day and the rains come pouring down making the ground all wet and irritating.If there is anything I love to do,it is shopping.I had planned to go shopping and the rain wouldn't just go away so I threw caution to the wind and grabbed my little umbrella.Out in the rain I went,quickly hailed a cab and zoomed to the market. The entrance to the market was something else.Obviously like me,the rain couldn't deter so many people.People were milling around everywhere,even beggars sat put in their positions begging for alms from all who passed them.One of them particularly caught my attention.Unlike others he was standing,his buttons were all undone and I saw something like a rope connected to his navel,tracing the end,I saw something like a drip or something but some kind of satchet with some content in it in his hand and then there w...

Why do they keep staring?

In these few years God has blessed me with on earth,I have seen so many things:the good,the bad,the ugly.I am so curious about men and their way of thinking.He is driving on the road,he is looking,in the office,he is looking,in the park,he is looking,even in church he is looking...Chei!what is it?.He gladly boasts that every man is wired that way,he couldn't be different. Ladies,have you ever been looked at by a guy so badly that you almost puked?There are those whose stares make you feel like smacking them behind and saying,don't be silly!.There are others whose stares make you feel embarrased and uncomfortable but there are those who make you feel like a queen made to be worshipped.Hahah...yea,I know that feeling...hey,don't worry the feeling is mutual.I like it too.I mean who doesn't want to feel wanted?. However,I am particularly curious about why some men just go bonkers at the sight of a woman.Why his nose will trace a perfume to the owner?Why his mouth will hang ...
