CWM Kenya: Report on Celebration of International Women's Day at Murang’a Women's Prison

Details

kenya cwm celebrates March 8th

Murang’a Womens Prison is situated just next to Murang’a Town and it consists of approximately 78 adult women and approximately 10 children(due to mothers being jailed).The prison administration does not allow civilians on visit to mix with prisoners for safety purposes.

CWM K cathedral and some of cwa members arganised for a visit and mass at the prison incelebration of international womens day.The mass was officiated by Rev Fr Martin Wanyoike –Parish Priest Cathedral Parish

In 1975 United Nations proclaimed 08th March to be International Women’s Day. This was a leeway created by the United Nations to propagate for women’s rights universally devoid of considering race, region, color, sexual orientation or class.

God created all human beings in His own image (imago dei), men and women with intrinsic dignity and inherent respect attached to both genders. Though created differently, we are equal in the eyes of God and the law and such both genders should live in a complimentary manner.

It is fundamental to note that women rights cannot be achieved in one day (08th march) alone but it should be a continuous agitation that needs collective effort from all and by all. The same day is supposed not only to be used to champion for women rights but also to celebrated the positive strides made towards achieving this noble goal.
