In commemoration of International Women’s Day, VOTNEG In partnership with WOMAN and other organizations proudly hosted the second edition of the Gathering of Visionary Women (GOVIW) on March 7th at the VOTNEG Multipurpose Center. This year’s event centered on the timely theme: "Rights. Justice. Action. For All Women and Girls." The gathering served as a dynamic platform for knowledge exchange, professional networking, and collaborative growth. At the heart of the event was a high-impact session titled "Women and the SDGs," facilitated By Dr. Dilys Orock Tataw president and founder of Women Advancing Nations. The session explored the 17 Sustainable Development Goals through a gender-focused lens.
The Women received in-depth insights into the global 2030 Agenda and identified the specific goals most relevant to their lives and livelihoods. The session ignited an action-oriented mindset, illustrating the indispensable role women play in localizing and advancing these global targets. By the concluding of the session, Women were challenged to serve as SDG Ambassadors, championing sustainable development within their unique spheres of influence.
Every woman left the gathering not just with new information, but with the tools and empowerment necessary to drive meaningful global change starting from their local communities.
