It’s Finally here! Happy Birthday to me… I mean happy International Women’s Day. (Don’t blame me!) Today, I join with the global community to salute women and girls everywhere, particularly those of the OECS. It is well known that it is the women of our Community who have been the bedrock of society and have been agents of change within our societies. In so doing, they have been steadfast in their determination to improve their economic, social, political, cultural and legal status. This year’s theme “Think equal, build smart, innovate for change” focuses around inventive manners by which we can propel sex uniformity and the strengthening of ladies, especially in the zones of social security frameworks, access to open administrations and manageable foundation. We are now twenty-four years on from that important milestone the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. Our governments were among the 189 that signed that historic document which put forward an agenda for realizing, among other things, the achievement of women’s equality. Yet, today, that goal remains elusive. I believe that the OECS remains committed to the proposed Goal 5 of the UN Framework for Sustainable Development: ‘Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls”; and am sure they will continue pursuing innovate for change
On this occasion of International Women’s Day 2019, I join the voices across the Region in celebrating our women, those whom we have formally recognized and those many unsung heroines who continue to develop our OECS States. Let us renew our commitment and energy as we map out the path for thinking equal, building smart, and innovating for change for a sustainable development and a vital element in building our region.
