Today I will join fellow women leaders in Abuja, Nigeria for the Global Power Women Network's conference to review our continent's performance on women's health, women empowernment, gender equality and strategies to prevent gender based violence in Africa.
The Global Power Women's Network in Africa is a network of elected African women leaders/ representatives who are involved in making key dicisions regarding the welfare of others.
As some of you are aware, I currently hold the position of Champion for Aids, Tuberculosis and Malaria for SADC Region. Therefore this conference will help us leaders to advocate for the cause of women in our region.
In Malawi, my government remains resolutely committed to the issues of gender equality, women empowerment , girl's access to education, women's access to health and equal opportunities for all disregard of gender.
Thank you all for your support and prayers.
May God bless you all!
Have a blessed day!
Dr Joyce Banda
President
Republic of Malawi
