Mpika DC urges stakeholders to finance women’s day events

Mpika District Commissioner David Siame has called on stakeholders to render financial support to the hosting of the National Women’s Day and other activities that promote the well-being of women.

The District Commissioner said this in an interview with the media in Mpika.

He said the International Women’s Day was a vital platform that must be supported as it promoted gender equality, women inclusiveness in key governance positions and raised awareness about the challenges woman faced in the country and across the global.

Mr Siame said there was need to pump in more resources to promote activities that support and enable more women become more economically independent and stable.

“Women are key in helping the country attain its development agenda,” he said.

The District Commissioner explained that Government will continue creating opportunities for women empowerment through the Department of Community Development and through Constituency Development Fund (CDF).

Mr Siame added that as government continued to support women, women must critically reflect on their obligations, responsibilities and contributions towards national development.

He stressed that there was need for all stakeholders to work extra hard and double their support for women empowerment programmes.

Meanwhile, Mpika District Young Woman Christian Association (YWCA) Coordinator Rosaria Kapota has urged the woman to invest their time and energy doing constructive things that will have a positive bearing in future.

Mrs Kapota said despite women being surrounded by a lot of challenges in the society, they must exercise self-discipline and refrain from all bad vices that may disadvantage and corrupt their morals.

“Discipline is very important for any person to succeed in life,” she said.

He pointed out that the country needed more women who think outside the box and find better solutions to the challenges they are currently facing.

Meanwhile Mary Bwalya a marketer at Musakanya market in Mpika District said, if adequately supported, women were a great agent of positive change.

This year’s International Women’s Day will take place on 8th March, 2026 under the theme: Rights, Justice, Action for All Women and Girls,”
