In 1909, the streets of New York City echoed with the voices of thousands of women demanding better pay and working conditions. What began as a national movement has since grown into a global revolution for women’s rights. Today, International Women’s Day (IWD) stands as a powerful symbol of progress, resilience, and the ongoing fight for gender equality.
The United Nations officially recognized International Women’s Day in 1975 and, two years later, designated March 8 as the annual date for its observance. This day serves as a moment for reflection, a rallying cry for change, and a celebration of the courage and determination of women worldwide.
In 2025, we celebrate International Women’s Day under the theme “Accelerate Action.” This theme underscores the urgency of driving meaningful change—ensuring women have equal opportunities in all aspects of life, including education, leadership, business, and land ownership.

Breaking Barriers: Women and Land Ownership in Africa
One of the most pressing challenges facing women in Africa is land ownership. In many societies, patriarchal customs and legal structures favor men when it comes to land inheritance and property rights, leaving women at a significant disadvantage. Yet, land is more than just property—it is security, opportunity, and the foundation for economic independence.
To accelerate action in gender equality, we must challenge these restrictive cultural norms and champion policies that empower women to own land and build lasting legacies. Women, like men, deserve the right to invest in property, pass it down to future generations, and contribute to Africa’s economic transformation.

Empowering Women Through Land Investment
At Home Afrika, we believe in the power of women to shape the future. We are committed to providing women with opportunities to invest in land across Kenya—including Kiambu, Kitengela, Naivasha, Machakos, Isinya, Ngong, Nanyuki, and Kisumu. By making land ownership more accessible, we empower women to create wealth, establish businesses, and secure a brighter tomorrow for themselves and their families.
This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the women who dare to dream, break barriers, and accelerate action towards a more equal world. Your strength and determination inspire us all. Happy International Women’s Day!
