HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY- 2014
Theme - Equal Rights: Equal Opportunity: Progress for all
"Countries with more gender equality have better economic growth.
Companies with more women leaders perform better. Peace agreements that include
women are more durable. Parliaments with more women enact more legislation on
key social issues such as health, education, anti-discrimination and child
support. The evidence is clear: equality for women means progress for
all." UN Secretary General – Ban Ki Moon
