EQUAL RIGHTS, EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

In conjunction with International Women's Day which was on March 8, there was a weeklong programme to celebrate it from March 8 to 14.  When I went for lunch yesterday afternoon, I stopped to have a looksee.

Excerpt from the Sun newspaper:
The purpose of the week is to focus on eliminating all forms of gender-based violence against women and girls; fostering the respect of human rights and working for social justice in the community; to motivate and to empower women; to advance women’s equality and participation in society by working to bring about social, political and economic change for women; to make new connections and gain inspirational business tips through their winning formula of different networking activities; to bring communities together and build cohesion; and also to celebrate and to mark the successes and achievement of women in the society.
