Women’s rights are existential. Our future, our life depends on it. A nation that disrespects women will never be able to reach its potential. I am here today because I acknowledge that if anything is going to change in this country, women would have to be the ones driving it.
I have been blessed by amazing women who have shaped my life. I owe them a debt of gratitude. My father never knew his mum. She died when he was still a toddler. But his stepmum, Muriweaku, took him as her own. She didn’t have to. My grandfather was already gone by this time. But she nurtured my father. Gave him unconditional love. Protected him and practically saved his life countless time. My father’s face always glowed when he talked about her. My mother is an exceptional woman.
History will judge you kindly and we owe you a debt of gratitude for reminding us about what is important for our country and for our future. The issues outlined for discussion speak to the core of our challenges. But it also speaks of hope, resilience and courage. You are not waiting to be handed anything, you are taking it. And that is the way to go.Entire of itself.Each man’s death diminishes meIt tolls for thee.
We are in interesting times in this country. There is trouble in the land. The civic space is under attack. Our judiciary is cowed. Our legislators are serving every interest but ours. Our democracy is flawed. In this environment of executive dictatorship, women are bearing the disproportional burden of our failing state. Therefore, this convening is timely and fundamentally important. We must rescue the civic space.
