"We cannot have a free and equal society until women enjoy equal rights as men. It is a human right, and we are all entitled to it. Over the years, there have been drastic changes with better representation of women in politics, more economic opportunities, and better healthcare," Kamya said. She added: "But still, in many regions, women continue to face unfair treatment, which needs to be addressed. Women cannot succeed when half of us are held back, so gender equality must be embraced by all the women in society, which is possible only if we create a gender-equal environment."
Making a pitch for equity, Kamya added: "All I want to say is that having a voice and speaking up for yourself is extremely important. It is not selfish but standing up for what you truly believe in and holding your ground to it. Be aware and express who you are and what you want out of life. "Let's give equity a huge embrace on this International Women's Day. I wish for a world where differences are acknowledged, appreciated, and celebrated. So, let us pledge to forge women's equality with #Embraceequity."
