PSPF SET TO COMMEMORATE INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY 2025.

The Public Service Pensions Fund (PSPF) will on March 8th, 2025 join the International Community in commemorating the International Women's Day under the theme "For ALL women and girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment".

With the main event scheduled for Kasama in Northern Province, Lusaka residents will join the festivities at the Lusaka Show Grounds. The Lusaka event will be graced by the Republican Vice President W.K Mutale Nalumango, underscoring the government's commitment to advancing women's rights and equality.

A march past will precede the main event, starting from the University of Zambia and proceeding to the Lusaka Show Grounds. The PSPF will participate in this march, demonstrating our institution's dedication to supporting women's empowerment and gender equality in all spheres of life.

Beyond participating in the march past, PSPF will host an exhibition booth at the Lusaka Showgrounds showcasing our innovative products and services. Visitors to our booth will discover how our recent digitization and automation initiatives have transformed service delivery making pension services more accessible.

According to the United Nations, this year’s theme calls for action that can unlock equal rights, power and opportunities for all and a feminist future where no one is left behind. Central to this vision is empowering the next generation, the youth, particularly young women and adolescent girls as catalysts for lasting change.

Besides, the year 2025 is a pivotal moment as it marks the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. This document is the most progressive and widely endorsed blueprint for women’s and girls’ rights worldwide that transformed the women’s rights agenda in terms of legal protection, access to services, youth engagement, and change in social norms, stereotypes and ideas stuck in the past.
