The female arm of the University of Africa Toru-orua under the auspices of the ‘UAT Females Forum’ has admonished female members of staff of the university to imbibe oneness as a panacea for growth.
The forum which held a chit-chat to commemorate this year’s international women’s day with the theme “Inspire Inclusion” held on Tuesday 12th March, 2024 bordered on ways to grow into top management positions not just in the work place but in every other area of life.
Delivering the keynote talk, Mrs. Rebecca Adaka Morris, urged the women to ensure inclusion in all aspects of their career, while also encouraging them to adopt ICT as a way to boost their career. She added that the ratio of men to women in a typical workplace is ten to three and as such women must work twice as hard to ensure inclusion. She also added that women must grow their professional circle to be inclusive, in addition to support for each other.

Reactions were centered on the continuous issue of women pulling down fellow women in the work place. Responding during the interactive session, Mrs Tareno-Igirigi Arukusi said women must learn to love themselves, as this would transcend to love for others, and subsequently eradicate the desire to pull down a fellow woman to rise, adding that the sky is large enough for everyone to grow.
Also speaking, Mrs. Rosemary Sele-konyefa, admonished the women on the attributes of a true mother. She further suggested that female members of staff should extend their motherhood roles to students, as this would help in the growth of such students in life.
Chairlady of the UAT Female Forum Madam Edna Stow, in her address, expressed the need for women to come together at occasions such as this to deliberate on issues that concern women. She stated that when women are united, they become a formidable force in any organization. She urged the women to work in love for one another, as this would lead to genuine support for women to be included in any sphere of her career, and subsequent inclusion at top management levels.
March 8 of every year is set aside to mark the International Women’s Day, to celebrate the achievements of women all over the world, in addition to advocating for the rights of women.
