Banjul mayor Rohey Lowe has accepted an invitation to be part of speakers choosen to address the ‘Africana First Ladies Shared Forum United Nation General Assembly 75 Session Side Event” slated for September 21, 2020 at 12.30 (GMT) via ZOOM.
Themed ‘UNGA75 and Gender roles in shaping peace together’, the summit comes at a critical time as the world grapples with the deadly coronavirus pandemic.
“For the African woman it is a period of tolerance and perseverance when most of our men folks have lost jobs and earnings and we women have to be resilient in our quest to find workable solutions to sustain peace through dialogue and mutual understanding,” Mayor Lowe said in a post on her official Facebook page.
She added: “Addressing the forum will afford us the opportunity to bring these issues to the front and highlight the need for action on ways to build and promote global peace and implement the SDG 16 and targets from global to grassroots communities.
“The Forum will again highlight emerging trends and policies that can significantly impact the implementation of SDG 16 and Targets in addressing world peace. I therefore look forward to this very important global forum and hope that as we discuss the issues solutions will emerge for a better world of peace and people living in harmony.”
