As we celebrate International Women’s Day, let me take this opportunity as Deputy Chair to wish all the sisters at CXC “Happy Women’s Day!”

The fight across the World for women’s rights have made significant strides in some countries but there is still much more to do as many women still face discrimination as they fight for equality and equity and having the power of choice.

As we celebrate the Day, let us remember our sisters across the world.

Let us also hold each other up, celebrate each other’s achievements, hold ourselves to high standards, challenge stereotypes to bias and command respect.

Thank you for all you do!

Let us Balance for Better!
