Time goes by and generations come and go - this makes Eritrea a place of legends that needs to be preserved and passed down but, unfortunately, the humbleness of Eritrean culture prevents such chronicling. During the days of the struggle for Independence, the National Union of Eritrean Women (NUEW) was established in the liberated ares. The enhancement of the role of Eritrean women in all aspects of life and guaranteeing their equality has been a top national priority. Women empowerment remains at the centre of Eritrea's development strategy which is firmly anchored in Social-Justice, Self-reliance, popular participation and ownership.
