PHILIPSBURG:--- Today March 8, 2021, on International Women’s Day, it gives me great pleasure to celebrate the accomplishments, and leadership of women all around the world. We have come a long way, from when we were not allowed to vote, make decisions or hold certain functions to breaking the molds set by men throughout history. We have seen women rise to the occasion, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, and exhibit leadership skills in protecting their communities in governments around the world. This year’s
International Women’s Day theme is ‘Choose to Challenge’ raising awareness against bias and taking action for equality. We recognize the fight of women for economic, social, and political rights, and celebrate their progress and success.
