This year's International Women's Day in Narok County was marked by a powerful call for economic empowerment to transform the lives of women and girls.

Women from marginalized communities continue to face significant obstacles, including early marriages, female genital mutilation resulting in health complications such as fistula, and the neglect of girls' education, which have hindered their social and economic progress.

At Ole-ntimama Stadium, hundreds of women gathered to commemorate the day.

During the event, Agnes Ntutu, wife to Governor Patrick Ole Ntutu, stressed the importance of women's empowerment and inclusion. "I have urged women to have a voice in society because when we are included, the entire community is represented.
