AACC Statement on the 2026 International Women’s Day 

A Call for Rights, Justice, and Action for Women and Girls

On International Women’s Day 2026, the All Africa Conference of Churches issued a message celebrating the courage, resilience, and leadership of women and girls across Africa and around the world. In the statement, General Secretary Rev. Dr. Fidon Mwombeki gave thanks for the vital contributions women make to the church and society while acknowledging the persistent gender inequalities and injustices that continue to undermine their dignity and rights.

Grounded in the words of Jesus Christ in Gospel of Luke 4:18, the statement calls Christians and faith communities to be ambassadors of God’s justice by challenging systems that harm women and girls and promoting a world where their rights are protected and their voices valued. Echoing the 2026 theme, “Rights. Justice. Action. For All Women and Girls,” the message urges bold action to ensure dignity, safety, and equal opportunity for every woman and girl.
