International Mother Language Day (IMLD)
The theme of the 2016 International Mother Language Day, 21 February 2016 was Quality education, language(s) of instruction and learning outcomes. Mother languages are key for quality education and linguistic diversity. At the same time it is important to underline the importance of access to education. Irina Bokova, UNESCO Director General stated: ¡°Mother languages in a multilingual approach are essential components for quality education, which is itself the foundation for empowering women and men and their societies¡±. For the full message, read here.  GWI advocates for non-traditional forms of education and innovative approaches to education for inclusivity in education for all women and girls in indigenous societies or remote areas.

Sierra Leone Association of University Women (SLAUW) celebrate their 40th year!
Last week SLAUW members came together to celebrate 40 years of empowering girls and women in Sierra Leone through lifelong education, a symbolic milestone in their journey and a significant achievement. SLAUW has a number of achievements in its 40-year history including, contributing to the establishment of the Women¡¯s Forum umbrella organisation of women¡¯s network in Sierra Leone, which is now vibrant and widely recognised nationally. They have successfully awarded school scholarships and university scholarships to girls. One scholarship recipient is now a well-respected member of Parliament and the minority leader in the House; an example of what can be achieved through the associations.

International Women¡¯s Day (IWD) 8 March 2016
Graduate Women International (GWI) is encouraging all members to celebrate International Women¡¯s Day (IWD), 8 March 2016. The event is an opportunity to honour women¡¯s achievements, past, present and future, and to push for progress on women¡¯s rights. This year, GWI wishes particularly to draw attention to the value of women teachers as uniquely positioned, powerful drivers of positive social change for girls and young women. This is particularly true in the area of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) where women role models can encourage young women to consider these as career options. Ideas can of course be adapted to local contexts and issues. If you are a member and would like ideas on IWD events or activities please see here. If you are not yet a member of GWI and would like access to these and other useful resources, you are welcome to join us!
