First Lady Rachel Ruto Highlights The Importance Of Empowering Women

First Lady Rachel Ruto has emphasized the profound impact of empowering women in the country. Speaking on June 22, 2023, the First Lady, who is a staunch advocate for women’s rights, expressed her belief that empowering women can bring about positive transformation in society.

“When you empower a woman, you empower a community. Women are the backbone of society, and their empowerment has a ripple effect that touches every aspect of community life,” Mama Rachel stated.

Recognizing the significant role women play in society, Mama Rachel highlighted the transformation that occurs when a woman is given the means and support to pursue her dreams and aspirations.

“When a woman is empowered, she gains the confidence and resources to pursue her dreams and aspirations. She becomes a beacon of inspiration, a guiding light for others, instilling in them the belief that they too can overcome obstacles and achieve greatness.”

The First Lady’s remarks came after she met with 118 women who have been working tirelessly to beautify the Statehouse by planting grass. The women, who are all members of the Joyful Women Organization, are part of a larger initiative by the First Lady to empower women and promote gender equality in Kenya.

“I am inspired by the work that these women are doing,” Mama Rachel said. “They are a testament to the power of women when they are given the opportunity to reach their full potential.”

The First Lady’s remarks are a timely reminder of the importance of empowering women. As the world continues to grapple with the challenges of inequality and poverty, women are essential to building a more just and prosperous future. By empowering women, we can unleash their full potential and create a better world for all.
