The president of the Pan African Women's Organisation (PAWO), Assetou Koite, says Africa must recognise and honour the contribution of women to the decolonisation of the continent and take action to advance gender equality.

This movement has been instrumental in forging international consensus on a rights-based approach to women's rights,” Koite said on Tuesday, 31 July.

The event was hosted by DIRCO in collaboration with PAWO under the theme ‘Celebrating a Legacy of Liberation by the Pan African Women: Taking forward the Struggle for Gender Equality’.
