Women's Day in Gabon

Women's Day in Gabon is held on April 17. Women's Rights Day. This event in the second decade of the month April is annual.
This day was enacted to celebrate women in government and marks the death anniversary of Rose Francine Rogombé, the first female head of state of Gabon.
Gabonese Women’s Day is a day of celebration and a time to honor the role women play in their families and in Gabonese society at large. Gabonese Women’s Day is also a time to reflect on the realities that women face every day around the globe, including gender-based violence. Violence against women and girls is one of the world’s most prevalent human rights violations, and it does not discriminate along social or economic lines.
