Tying in with the AU’s year of Women’s Empowerment and Development, the publication was presented to delegates during a high-level panel session on gender equality and women’s empowerment.

HE Sophia M Simba – Tanzania’s Minister of Community Development, Gender and Children, who also chaired the session – announced the presentation, before inviting Josepha M Musabyemariya, representative of the AU’s Mission to the United States, to take centre stage to present the publication to delegates from all 54 AU member states.
