When women come together, real change happens.
That was the heart of the 5th International Conference for Rural Women. It brought together voices from across Africa to share ideas, experiences and solutions for empowering rural women. Organized by Women’s Board Educational Cooperation Society (ECS) in partnership with Zabalketa, the three-day conference held at Pan-Atlantic University welcomed 70 participants from Nigeria, Kenya, Senegal and South Africa.

Through panel discussions, working groups, and keynote sessions, participants explored leadership, entrepreneurship, sustainability, and collective action for women’s advancement. Beyond the conference, the ECS–Zabalketa partnership continues to empower rural women across eight communities in Itamapako through leadership training, advocacy, improved water and sanitation, and livelihood skills.

The conversations and connections from these three days reaffirm one thing: when women come together to learn and collaborate, stronger communities are built.

GenderEquality

08/03/2026

No more barriers.
Not in education.
Not in employment.
Not in leadership.
Not in justice.

As we mark International Women’s Day 2026 under the theme “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls,” we are reminded that equality must move beyond aspiration to implementation.

Removing structural barriers to education and decent work is not only a moral responsibility it is an economic and social imperative. When women and girls have equitable access to skills, opportunity, and protection, institutions grow stronger, industries become more inclusive, and communities thrive.

Progress requires intentional action from policymakers, educators, corporate partners, and civil society.

The call is clear: protect rights, pursue justice, and take action that delivers measurable change.

Over 40 women were reached with mother crafts for income generation, essential health guidance, and education on gender-based violence.
