Hundreds of women and girls gathered on March 8 at Rove Police Grounds in
Honiara to celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD), organized by the Solomon
Islands’ Ministry of Women, Youth and Children Affairs. The theme of the event was ‘Connecting Girls,
Inspiring Futures, Involving, Participating, Empowering’.
As a project empowering
young women in Honiara, Sistas Savve had been invited to take part in the
events by setting up a Sistas Savve stall to showcase our products and raise
awareness, taking part in the IWD march, and giving two participants the
opportunity to give an awareness
raising speech about women’s empowerment and Sistas Savve.
It was a truly great day, and a great experiemce for the Sistas Savve
participants and staff!
