Today, I, Felicia Chukwu join members of the **Women’s Rights Action Network (WRAN)** to mark **International Women’s Day 2026** under the theme **“Give to Gain.”**

Advancing women’s rights requires collective action. When we give our voices, time, solidarity, and leadership to the cause of gender equality, we gain stronger communities, justice, and opportunities for women and girls everywhere.

I am proud to stand with WRAN in amplifying the call for **rights, justice, and meaningful action for women and girls.**
