Quotes of the day✨️

“There are gaps in our advocacy and awareness efforts. Too often, we find ourselves speaking only to women. Engaging men is essential and will play a crucial role in advancing women’s leadership.”
— Ambassador Marjon V. Kamara, Chairperson, AWLN-Liberia

“The narrative is changing in Liberia, and we must keep pace with that change. We need to be mindful of what we project online — is it a man’s world, or a people’s world? How are we profiling men and women?”
— Dr. Yemi Falayajo, UN Women Liberia

“Masculinity itself is not the problem; negative masculinity is. What we need is accountability, respect, and empathy.”
— Mr. Christian Mukosa, OHCHR
