Universal Women’s Week
Every woman has the right to equal pay, reproductive rights, and freedom from violence. Let's empower women and create a more just society.
I’ve been a staunch advocate of women’s empowerment, and I’ve worked hard throughout my career to advance the cause.
It is heartening to see that gender equality is really becoming more of a reality. There is still much more to be done, and I’m confident that, by working together, we can empower women worldwide.
