ICDP Mozambique has been cooperating with Unicef for many years now. On the 8th of March 2025 a short video was put on Youtube by Unicef, as a way of celebrating International Women’s Day. It is called Child Marraige Story: Esperanca: https://youtu.be/8a6h2JSmw80?si=cwDmdFLI0ktFYJFX
Thanks to the intervention of Unicef and ICDP, Esperanca was rescued from her child marriage and was abel to return home and to school.
International Women’s Day gives focus to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women. Spurred by the universal female suffrage movement, International Women’s Day originated from labour movements in Europe and North America during the early 20th century.
