Join us for the launch of the UIC Women in Rail in Africa Taskforce! The session will be held remotely on 16 July 2025, from 12:30 to 14:15 CET.

Organised as part of the UIC Africa programme, the taskforce will be chaired by Nompumelelo Sibongile Ekeke, Board Chair of the Railway Safety Regulator (RSR) in South Africa. It aims to identify recommendations, conclusions, and initiatives that will enable women to make a greater contribution to rail sector development in Africa, both within the workforce and as passengers.

In line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the relevant policy set out by the African Union in Agenda 2063, the main focus of the taskforce will be on advocacy and awareness, networking and mentorship, and skills development and capacity building.
