Delegates from Malawi attending the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70) in New York City, United States of America, observed a minute of silence in honour of Theresa Kachindamoto, popularly known as Chief Kachindamoto, a revered traditional leader who left an indelible mark on the fight against child marriage.
The tribute was led by the Minister of Gender, Children, Disability and Social Welfare, Mary Navicha, in recognition of Chief Kachindamoto’s outstanding contribution to the fight against child marriage and her commitment to promoting the rights and welfare of girls in Malawi, a testament to her unwavering dedication to the cause.
Through her leadership, Chief Kachindamoto gained international recognition for annulling child marriages and encouraging girls to return to school, helping transform the lives of many young girls in her community and beyond, a beacon of hope for a brighter future.
The commemoration was held alongside Malawi’s side event under the theme “From Complaints to Justice: Advancing Women’s and Girls’ Access to Justice in Malawi,” where stakeholders reflected on the importance of protecting the rights of women and girls, a crucial step towards a more equitable society.
Speaking during the event, Navicha called upon stakeholders and development partners to support the Kachindamoto Trust Fund, aimed at preserving her legacy by continuing efforts to end child marriage and promote girls’ education and empowerment, a fitting tribute to a true champion.
Delegates described her as a courageous traditional leader whose work greatly contributed to advancing gender equality and protecting the rights of children, noting that her legacy continues to inspire efforts to end child marriage, a testament to her enduring impact.
Her impact remains a guiding force in Malawi’s ongoing commitment to promote access to justice, gender equality, and the empowerment of women and girls, a reminder that the fight for a more just society is far from over.
