March 8 has been named Women’s Day in this country. After some of my recent blog posts you’ll understand that this national day is something we are going to be paying close attention to. Like you, we want to know what Women’s Day means here.
The only plan we have heard is that one of the local NGOs that deals expressly with women’s issues, is going to host a women’s celebration here in our city, and host some 500 women from outlying villages to come in for the meal and party. What will this be like? We also wait anxiously, and hope we learn something to report on later!
Be in prayer that this Women’s Day would be safe from any insurgent threats. They generally do not like any projects that benefit women, because it calls them away from their standard roles of staying in the house all the time. Pray for something really great to happen on this day.
