"We celebrate the strength, resilience, and contributions of women in our families, workplaces, and communities.
But as we honour women, we must remember that a healthy woman builds a healthy nation. Women often care for everyone else, yet their own health is sometimes placed last.
encourage every woman to prioritise regular health check-ups, mental well-being, proper nutrition, and physical activity. Womenโ€™s health must never be an afterthought.
Your health matters. Your well-being matters. Your life matters".

On International Womenโ€™s Day, the World Health Organization joins governments, partners, and communities across the African Region in celebrating the remarkable contributions of women and girls, and reaffirming our commitment to advancing their health, rights, and well-being.

This yearโ€™s theme โ€” โ€œRights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girlsโ€ โ€” calls for renewed urgency in addressing persistent inequities and ensuring that every woman and girl has the opportunity to live a healthy, safe, and dignified life.

Women and girls make up more than half of Africaโ€™s population, playing vital roles in families, communities, and health systems. They also represent nearly 70% of the global health and care workforce, delivering essential services and strengthening systems at every level.

As we honour their leadership, resilience, and impact, we are proud to share a series of powerful quotes that amplify the voices and experiences of women across our region.
