IWD: Let’s celebrate women achievement – Lordina
Ghana’s former First Lady Lordina Mahama is calling for women to be empowered to give off their best to impact society.
As the world celebrates International Women’s Day on Thursday, March
08, 2018, Mrs. Mahama stressed the efforts and achievements of women
and girls must also be celebrated to spur others on.
This year’s international women’s celebrations is focused on gender
equality for women which is also captured by the Sustainable Development
Goals (SGDs) Goal 5: “Achieve gender equality and empower all women and
girls”.
It is on the theme: “Time is Now: Rural and urban activists transforming women’s lives”.
Mrs. Mahama tasked women to encourage each other to “also impact
their homes, their communities and countries, and through that I believe
we will move the #PressforProgress agenda forward.”
Below is her full statement:
“On the occasion of this year’s International Women’s Day, let us
continue to encourage each other as women to make the desired impact and
push for the male society’s support for gender parity.
“I support the campaign to #PressforProgress as it highlights, most
appropriately, the urgent need for us to curb the remaining disparities
in the quest for gender equality.
“Let’s celebrate the efforts and achievements of our fellow women,
let’s empower our women and girls, let’s use them as examples to
encourage other women to also impact their homes, their communities and
countries, and through that I believe we will move the #PressforProgress
agenda forward.”
