Mejang Abwe stated that the deplorable water situation affects daily activities, causing lateness and absenteeism in schools and offices. \u201cIt is often said that water is life. We plead with the Mayor of Bangem Council, Ekungwe Christopher Kang, to leave no stone unturned until water flows from every home in Bangem,\u201d she appealed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The President also urged the administration to address rampant theft ongoing in Bangem. She emphasized that women and girls face significant challenges in work, business, decision-making, land ownership, and domestic life.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout justice and systems that work for women and girls\u2019 rights, women\u2019s rights will continue to be a promise that will hardly be fulfilled,\u201d Mejang Abwe noted. She called on women to commit to action for a more just and equitable Bangem, where women and girls enjoy protection in offices, families, businesses, and leadership.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Divisional Delegate of Women\u2019s Empowerment and the Family, Ngwene Cecilia Mbolle, encouraged women to remain united and continue playing their crucial role in the division\u2019s development. She reminded them that International Women\u2019s Day is an opportunity to reflect on women\u2019s rights, equality, and empowerment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mbolle congratulated women for their resilience and contribution to community development, advising them to empower themselves through education and skills acquisition to support their families.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Senior Divisional Officer, Nguia Beina Theophile, appreciated the people of Kupe Muanenguba for their peaceful nature and recognized women\u2019s role in preserving social stability and peace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The 2nd Deputy Mayor of Bangem Council, Mesode Evelyn Nkwelle, stated that women are the backbone of the municipality\u2019s social and economic life. She urged authorities to promote policies and initiatives that support gender equality and women\u2019s empowerment.<\/p>\n
