My dear brothers and sisters in the Lord,
International Women’s Day, as declared by the United Nations, is celebrated on March 8, in parallel with the designation of the month of March as Women’s History Month. This year’s theme for International Women’s Day is “Women in Leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world” which acknowledges the tremendous efforts by women around the world in shaping a more equal future and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. 2021 also marks the 65th session of the Commission on the Status of Women, which has, as its priority theme, “Women in public life, equal participation in decision making.”
