             Delighted to participate in the 4th Ministerial Conference on Feminist Foreign Policies. Gender equality is a strategic imperative that underpins broader peace, security and development. A feminist approach to policymaking provides a blueprint for resilience and renewal.

             Women-led businesses are doing more than building products—they’re creating jobs, empowering communities, and driving local economies forward. When women thrive, everyone benefits. Tune in to @malukisasivi speaking live at #AfricaSOR now:  https://t.co/jYwabOm3bY
