Speaking on behalf of the IWPG Lesotho Committee, Chairperson Mrs. ‘Malejaka Letooane explained that the commemoration serves as a call to action for women everywhere to join hands in the pursuit of peace. “This day is about encouraging women peace activists, regardless of borders, race, religion, or ideology, who are already working for peace and to inspire hope that many more women will join the movement,” she said.
