In commemoration of International Women’s Day 2026, the Society for Adolescent and Young People’s Health in Nigeria (SAYPHIN) celebrates all women for their resilience, leadership, and invaluable contributions to families, communities, and society.

This year’s celebration reminds us that advancing gender equality requires collective commitment to “Give to Gain”—giving support, opportunities, knowledge, and resources so that women and girls can thrive. When women are empowered, societies grow stronger and more inclusive.

As we mark this important day, SAYPHIN reaffirms its support for the global call for rights, justice, and action for all women and girls, and recognizes the vital role women play in shaping healthier and more equitable futures for adolescents and young people.
Happy International Women’s Day to all women.

Your strength, courage, and impact continue to inspire change.
